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)?

Thanks Dj, You hit the bullseye regarding Carl... BTW I also own an 850 and love it. I assume you have heard the fate of Wadia...not the news I was looking for.
See two other active threads concerning Wadia, but do not overreact! Things are changing...not going away. Wadia did not have any financial hardsdhip, but an internal group of employees has bought the Company and is going through a period of transition...Still great units and I would recommend even the discontinued 830 and 850 as great machines which do not break down, eliminate the pre-amp and associated interconnects from the chain, and offer fantastic sound quality. In the 2k range, look for a used Wadia 830ix and you'll have yourself a keeper!
I'm not bent out of shape, just challenged him to be specific...read what I said. Defending it like it was my wife? Get over yourself, dude.
I agree with Carl. To say you don't like a product without being specific as to why contributes little to this thread. I have never heard the Resolution Audio products but there seems to be general consensus that it is an excellent value. When there is a differing opinion it would be most useful to "share" with the readers why you don't like it. Give us a specific criticism. Constructive criticism offers greater insight into a product than "It never sounded right or "I just don't like it". I for one would like to know why you didn't like it as I am also in the market for a new digital front end. The above remarks are intended to be constructive not adversarial. I believe that is the point Carl tried to make.
