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!

I am new to hifi world and searching preamp+CD and/or DAC. CD player will be my only source. Do you guys think I should spend $1000 on a preamp or I can buy a CD player with volume control to connect directly to amp?

Thanks.

The Wadia 301: great-looking CDP, but is it awkward feeding
the discs in upside down?

The Quad CD-P has received some very high praise from the review magazines lately.

I plan on listening to one this weekend. List price I believe is $1499.

I received my sony 9000 es signature mod ref from Dan
Wright, It was delayed, because I hesitated to put
volume control,Finally I did.When I play cd direct
to my aextreme monos, I think its better.This is without burn in.My preamp is more than 2k.The total
price of my cdp$2400 including mod, but sacd,dvd, and
cd.The sacd is just unbelievable.The red redbood, is
very close to the sacd mode.The only problem, you might
not be able to find use sony.
