CDPs That Have Volume Control +Variable Output


Hello
I have a Adcom GCD-575, and, as always, it sounds pretty good, especially as I don't have a better one to compare ! Well, maybe my Nakamichi OMS-7 is better but...it doesn't have Variable outputs. And that means I can't connect it directly to an amp, at least an amp that doesn't have volume controls.

So, my question is, does anyone know of under $500 CDPs with Variable Outputs/Volume control ? I think the Adcom 600 has it also.
Thx for your time...

Well, I use a QUAD CDP-99 with variable output connected directly to a pair of B&O Beolab 3 active speakers. The sound is great.

In addition, the CDP-99 has a number of digital inputs so you can use it as a DAC/preamp. This is how I play my Apple lossless files through an IPOD and a Wadia itransport.

I am listening to the system right now and it never fails to amaze me with the quality. I have to say that I have never listened to real high-end systems, but my system is very simple and sounds very good.
