Resolutions Audio Opus 21 VS. Cary 306 SACD

I am strugling to make a decision between both of these players. Please help me out here. I can't go with the Cary 303/300 because it does not have a digital input which I must have for another source. So which one should I go with...HELP!!!

Thanks. The SACD is NOT important to me. The digital input is though.

The Cary is a giant killer! Very natural and harmonically rich midrange and tons of detail. It really sounds much more refined than its price tag would suggest. The digital input works great with my modified Squeezebox. Be sure you get the new version as the older units had some reliability problems.

Have you heard the Opus 21 ? It is musical, but on the warm side, so make sure that is what you are looking for.

I have not heard it. No local dealer. I have camelot Uther MK3 and Camelot Rountable now. How will it sound compared to that?

Question for Cary owners regarding output level. The 3V ouput of the 306 SACD may be too high for my system so that at step one of my preamp's stepped attenuator the volume will be too high for late night listening. Is this output level able to be reduced, either through the player's electronics somehow, or maybe by a dip switch inside or a change of a resistor? Thanks
