Running a cdplayer directy to an amp impedence q


I'm getting a CAL CL15 which outputs 0-3v at 50ohms.
What factors should i look at when considering an amplifier to mate directly with this cd player?
Is the voltage number the important one? or the impedence? or a combination? Am I looking for higher? lower?
I'm a bit bewildered here!
Considering:
BAT VK200, input imp = 100k, input v = 1.6v
Rogue 88, input imp = 200k, input v = 1.0v
and a few others....

One word of advice as a past owner of the CL15. While it will drive most if not all amps fine, the digital volume control has a tendency to limit dynamic range as you reduce the level. I found it to be much better going through a preamp and letting it control the volume.
I would suggest you check this out to see if you want to live with it. Of course, you can always add a preamp later.
