How's the analog volume control on the Opus 21?

i own the opus 21, but don't run it directly to amps, because i have multiple sources. i have experimented with it, however, and i could discern no difference. i attribute this to my preamp more so than anything else. (an ATC SCA-2), which is the most transparent preamp i've ever heard.

the volume control is all-analog, though, so full resolution is maintained.

it is the best cdplayer i've ever heard.

the opus 21 only bypasses the volume control the ouput is connected via a DIN connector.

the opus 21 is meant to be partnered with dmn preamps, hence the din. i use a din-to-rca cable made with dmn solid-core interconnects to my preamp - which bypasses the volume control.

annd a free tweak that makes a huge difference - turn off the display using the remote.

clearly audible.
