Greetings,
I suggest you keep your Ayre and spent $1,000 on a Placette RVC to go between your Ayre and Amps.
Placette is pretty much the best volume control on the planet and would far exceed anything you're going to get from a variable output from any source unit.
With the Placette, you also get remote volume control! I'm not sure life gets much better than that...Happy Listening
