good CD player with variable output?

Can anyone recommend a good quality, high-value CD player with a variable output to drive an amplifier directly?

The digital volume control should indicate 75 or above to get the best fidelity. Any Wadia dealer can do this for you.

How about something under $1k new or used?

Especially the balanced version. Should be available for around $1200 used. Beware though, they are discontinued. Also, they use the discontinued Pioneer stable platter mechanism. All this aside they sound fantastic.
