CDPs That Have Volume Control +Variable Output

Hello
I have a Adcom GCD-575, and, as always, it sounds pretty good, especially as I don't have a better one to compare ! Well, maybe my Nakamichi OMS-7 is better but...it doesn't have Variable outputs. And that means I can't connect it directly to an amp, at least an amp that doesn't have volume controls.

So, my question is, does anyone know of under $500 CDPs with Variable Outputs/Volume control ? I think the Adcom 600 has it also.
Thx for your time...

Correct me if needed, but I think the Adcom's vol control are analog right ?

It makes me wonder, how a preamp can make it sound better...isn't less caps/resistros/transistors better ?

Thx for all the responses...the thread is sure to generate opinions as there are lots of ways to listen to music, as always :)

I don't need blue ray, manta ray, sacd or whatever...if anything, cds are my way to be lazy when not spinning vinyl.

And it's more just a convenience than anything, as I have several systems, so I never really know what sounds best as I'm always moving stuff around...I just liek the idea of an amp and cdp together. I've been running an QADcom GCD575 with a CJ MF2300, and it sounds great. I'm sure a preamp would do it all justice too...more of a convenience than anything...

Seems though, that there is not much that can touch the 575, and be under $200, that has an analog volume control too.
