Recommend CD Player with Volume Control

I have Magneplanar 3.6Rs and Classe CAM-350 monoblocks and am looking to add a CD player. Since this will be my only source, I am looking for a CD player that has volume control/variable output and I will bypass the preamp. 24 bit, HDCD, and upgradability are definite advantages. Any suggestions in the $2000 price range (new or used)?

Stretch your $$ a bit (Your system desreves it) and listen to the Resolution Audio CD55. 24/96, HDCD, true balanced configuration, excellent analog passive preamp included. And best of all it sounds wonderful: detailed without harshness, smooth with great heft and weight, delicate when it needs to be. Retail $3000.
