Quality DAC with volume control - suggestions


I am looking for a reasonably priced DAC which has remote volume control. Want to eliminate preamp and associated cabling. Any suggestions? Looking in the $1000-$2000 range on the used market. Need DAC instead of CD player with volume control due to wanting to watch DVD music concerts. Thanks

We like our Uther DAC with volume control. We use it in lieu of a traditional preamp to drive our CJ MV60SE amp. However, the Uther does not allow one to hear very loud music.

Our typical music sources are Itunes via Toshiba laptop/HagUSB converter, OPPO CD/DVD player via digital coax and HD Time-Warner cable converter box via toslink.

post note: sometimes, we're amazed by the sound quality of the live concerts seen/heard on Palladia HD channel.
