CD Player w Volume control-Suggestions?


I am looking to run direct to my amp as the majority of my listening is digital. I am looking for a player which is upgradable, and has an excellent volume control. Unfortunately, I don't get the opportunity to audiotion alot of peices, and therefore have to "dwindle" down the choices and go from there. My budget is about $3000US (I'm from Canada.......so that's about $4500CDN). Any suggestions? This is my system I'd be connecting it to: HT TruthLink 2m XLR Plinius SA-100 MkII Transparent Ultras (single) Castle Winchester speakers with mods. Thanks alot folks and happy listenin'!!

Sedond, my sister-in-law says your brother-in-law ought to post what he hears himself. That way it wouldn't have to be filtered through you, thus degrading the sound....
I doubt that the output impedance of this Marantz player was any lower than that of my CD50...perhaps not even as low.
Yes, like I said, I think we ought to hear directly from your brother in law. If you had the stones to ask him to respond to us here, I guess you already would have. So the question is: Doug, is anything YOU have said here, useful? I submit that it isn't, and that we need to hear from this imaginary brother in law...once and for all. To be frank: I'm tired of hearing from you on this, since you have essentially NO FREAKING EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!
And learn to type, instead of using your voice synthesizer. I'm tired of reading your stupid phonetic spelling. If I read *ewe* one more time, I'm gonna start calling you "Dud Sod-on-it".
So are *ewe*. I've said it before, I'll say it again. Give me your brother in law's e-mail, and I'll tell you my linestage (after I've established and verified everything you claim). WHAT ARE *EWE* HIDING, dug sodonit???
I AM decent, and you are a coward!!! Unless I am provoked, I would have no reason to be anything other than cordial to your (imaginary?) brother-in-law, and you know that. AND IF YOU HAVE "NUTTIN" TO PROVE TO ME, then you need to pipe down on this issue, and let those who have more experience than you, share their insights...intstead of guessing that youe little philosophy can somehow be easily applied to all CD players, especially this one.
That's a brilliant assessment, John. I guess that's why they pay you the "big bucks"...
Sedond, once again you prove my point. You are cowardly in your *secret*, and I am not. A few know the answer to your quest, and everyone will at a non-disclosed future time, in the not too distant future. I can't say the same about your infantile hushings regarding your supposed brother in law. You are disrespecting me, everybit as much as you presume I am, to you. I'll say again, IF INDEED YOU DO you have a brother-in-law who owns the CD50, you need to take a quarter, go buy some guts, and reveal him to me, right now. HOW ELSE CAN I VERIFY YOUR CLAIMS AS TO YOUR EXPEREINCES? It's like you say, you'd "either have them, or NOT have them". If he exists, he is a man, and can handle himself without your motherly coddling....that is, IF he exists. You have my word, I will only ask specifics about when he bought the player, what he thinks of it in his system context (and what that context is), and also how long YOU have listened to it, and under what circumstance. I am an honorable person, ask anyone I have done business with. I can't do the same for you, since you haven't done business with ANYONE! THAT'S RIGHT SMARTY PANTS, YOU HAVE NO FEEDBACK, AND I DO. I ASK ANYONE WHO READS THIS, WHO HAS CREDIBILITY HERE AT THIS SITE, AND WHO IS A POSER? Hint: I HAVE THE CREDIBILITY...
Rosecud: Coming from an anonymous poser, I'd say it is you who is all the things you claim, and you are probably incarcirated with net priviledges, besides...see, I can tear you down like you enjoy tearing others down, rosey bud...You don't know what you're talking about, YOU AREN'T TALKING ABOUT THE THREAD TOPIC, WHERAS WE WERE......and I suggest you now assume room temperature...you pansy poser puke! Oh yeah, I left out one word which you used..."damn"...well, how's this? "damn you"...
Sedond, it's simple: you just saying that you're honest is no way of verifying ANYTHING!!!! I say I am honset too, and others stand with me on that, and it IS verifyable. And if you have nothing to prove to me, then why do you keep responding to me?
