I think I'm a little late to this discussion, but I have to recommend the Resolution Audio Opus 21! Excellent CD player! Volume control is digitally controlled, but operates in the analog, so it will best many hi-end pre's. My suggestion is to research each player Reubent listed in his post, as well as the Audio Aero CapMKII. You'll find tons of info on each player through Audiogon, in addition to other sites, and I'm sure you'll find a player that works best for you.
CD players with volume control ?????
I'm considering a Wadia 830 used to add to my 2 channel system. My only source is CD. I have a Krell KAV 250a with a NAD c160 pre-amp, and an old Phillips CD player hooked up to B&W N805s. I want to eliminate my pre-amp and upgrade my CD, I'm thinking that the Wadia is the way to do it, any thoughts? Are there any other CD players with volume control that allow you to eliminate the pre-amp?
Thanks!
Thanks!
