Which CD with Volume control up to $3500


Yes, sorry, maybe post here many times, but I want a CD player to drive Parasound JC1 direct without preamp.

I hear Consonance get good reveiw driving direct, and only $2500 on AG. Also Aero Capitole get good review as CD but not sure about direct drive amp.

What options does a poor camel trader have?

I own the Opera Audio Consonance Reference 2.2 and am very pleased with its build, sound, and looks. These are available on A'gon used for <= $1K, making it an awesome bang for your buck. However, I listen to most of my music (jazz, acoustic, vocal) via the balanced circuit, which bypasses the volume control. I actually prefer the sound of the unbalanced (awesome cymbal decay and vocals quality), except some of the hi-end definition seems to be missing in this mode.
