How's the analog volume control on the Opus 21?

I am getting an Opus 21 that should be arriving next week. I hope to post a review!!

For the ETA, I was told all the shipments will be coming in the end of April, so you should be able to get one shortly thereafter.

I emailed Resolution Audio a week ago. They indicated that once I order, it'll take 1 month for me to receive the machine. Fred

One more weighing in on the direct route to the amp. I have had my Opus 21 for many months and extensively compared it to several other CD players (some with volume controls). I had paired a Krell KRC 3 preamp with my Krell FPB amp. After listening with and without the preamp in the system I ended up selling the preamp and have no regrets. PS: For midfi home theater integration, I use an analogue to digital converter between my Yamaha surround receiver and the digital input to the Opus 21. Thus, my two channel system converts to run my front R & L speakers in Home theater duty.
