I personally don't recommend it because when you turn the unit off, the volume is reset to full. Not a problem if you always remember to turn the volume back down, but it will only take one time to damage your system- and possibly your ears!
As far as sonically, I only use the volume control because the volume control on the Xindak 6900SE integrated amp is very inconsistent at low levels- Level 1 can be sometimes heard throughout the house late at night, so I have to use the volume on the SCD-2 to bring the volume down a bit. At those levels, I can't really tell if there's sound degradation.
