The least expensive solution would be to pick up a used Marantz CD63SE or better yet the CD67SE with remote. The remote has a volume control, and the player is certainly of high enough output to do exactly what you are looking to do. These are excellent players, esp for that kind of $. Used should set you back no more than $200-$250, and that for a player in excellent shape. New MSRP was $500, often discounted ca $425. There are probably other units w/volume controls, but not usually on the remote feature. Finally, with the Marantz players, they power up to full volume, so you will want to leave the player on all the time unless you will remember to lower the output before playing music. HTHelps.
