CD players with variable output/volume control


Hi - I am a single-source guy, and I want to run a CD player directly to my poweramp. I know there are some good units out there with volume controls on the remote, but I don't know of many. Here are the ones I know of:

Xindak Muse 1.0, 2.0, 3.0
Xindak SCD-2
AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000
Several Marantz units...

Any other moderately priced units out there? Am I crazy to want to do this? I hate preamps, especially when I only use them for the volume control...

Coincidentally, APL has just announced a new multiformat player with volume control for $1100. The unit sports 4 DAC chips per channel. See:

A balanced output option is also available for a modest premium.
