Searching for CD/DVD Player with volume control


I have an Oppo 970HD DVD player that I run directly into a power amp, using the Oppo's volume control to operate the loudness level. This bare bones 2 channel system is for music and movies alike.

I'm looking to step up to a better DVD/CD player for improved CD playback while keeping the bare bones set up. My budget is up to $400 on the used market.

What are my upgrade choices for a DVD player with variable output?
Marantz, Cambridge, Arcam, Pioneer, Denon, etc?

The only thing that has changed is your budget, and that was only $100. Do you think that by going up $100 more that this will expand your options ?

A few members offered suggestions and maybe what you are wanting in this price range cant be found and expectations are set to high.
If there were other options that were in your price range, I am sure members would have mentioned this, but as you see, you are limited.

Why not just keep what you currently have ?
