Good budget CD with variable out??

Parasound CDP 1000. used 150/200 a steal at this price.

Does the Parasound CDP 1000 have a variable out?

I have an Audio Electronic CD-1 for sale in the classifieds for $600.00. It uses a Marantz CD-63 transport mech. and remote (with volume control), but with a much, much improved chassis and (single-ended tubed) output stage. Really magical sounding, especially straight into an amp!! Audio Electronic is Cary Audio's entry level line. I paid $1500 2 yrs ago. NOT a budget cd player.
