Does this product exist?

Hi all...

can someone tell me if this product exists at all?

i'm looking for a CD/DVD player that excells at redbook playback and has the following:
- digi out
- digi in, routing signal through internal DAC that is 24/96 or better (capable of acting as a stand alone DAC)
- some form of gain control

or

a DAC w/gain control, again 24/96 is a must.

my idea here is to bypass the need for a preamp. I only listen to digital sources and they are either redbook CDs or my own 24/48 or 24/96 recordings. I'm looking for the best sounding/value solution here as i build my high-end playback rig.

Nickspicks, I use a Denon DVD5000 in my HT. It has all of the features you desire and actually sounds very nice playing redbook. It is a very serious unit in terms of build quality and uses Burr/Brown dacs in "dual diff" configuration.

I have been seeing them used on this site for about $500-$600. They were originally $2500 new. No balanced connectors but otherwise every possible connection you could ask for including digital pass through.

Just a thought. Good luck.
