CD Players which connect direct to Amp?

I am aware of some players, (like the Theta Miles) with analog volume control and enough output voltage to hook up directly to an amplifier.

Can others share equivalent players?

Some Theta Miles specs: built-in DAC, solid transport, good electronics, balanced/unbalanced, good direct signal path, price point of around 900-1300 carefully used.

Thanks all, Chris

Gotta add Accuphase DP-75v and DP-85 to the list.

I asked the same question a while back, you may go over past threads. At any rate, I wound up buying a new preamp, after I upgraded my cd player. I do remember that the Accuphase was recommended to me, but its price was prohibitive. New models by Accuphase are due soon at any rate. If you have deep pockets, I was told on a number of occasions that they perform flawlessly and sound exquisite. I am happy with my Arcam FMJ and ARC preamp combo and lust for no better equipment-wise. I take my hard earned cash and buy recordings. Let the merry-go-round merrily go around, catch the music not the hardware bug. May the audio Gods always shine upon you!

All WADIA's, of course.
They actually invented the "change volume in the digital domain".
