8 channel volume control?

I am thinking that I could hook my ARC amps up directly to the 5.1 outputs of one of the new DVD, CD, SACD, type players [as long as it includes bass management ]. The only problem I can see is that I would have no control over the overall volume level. Does anyone make a high quality, line level, 8-channel volume pot? [6 would do, but I might as well plan for 7.1]. Am I overlooking any other problem?
thanks

Thanks to both of you for the information. I was hoping for something cheaper. I can make the box for it myself. Thanks again.

Not sure if its out of your pricerange, but Jadis makes a 5 channel preamp called the Cinema. It is designed for your specific need but as with all Jadis gear, you can bet it will be expensive.

check with MSB at www.msbtech.com; I recall it's remote operated. I've never seen a review. I'm not absolutely sure they ever shipped any of them. The price was originally supposed to be $500 but I think the last time I checked it was up a couple hundred.
