CDP with 2 sets of outputs?

No problem, Clbeanz. These Sony's do not have any volume control.

I believe the Wadia 861 cdp has volume control but I don't know if it has dual outputs.

May I ask what amps you intend to use?

-IMO

The Shanling CD-T100 CD player has 2 sets of outs that can be used simultaneously. One is tubed and the other solid state.

It sounds to me like it might be an expensive player, to have two sets of outputs (and you'd really need two independant output stages, otherwise all you're really doing is using a splitter on a single output stage, which halves the input impedance seen by the CDP), and to have volume controls on both outputs. (Most CDPs I've seen have volume on one, and the other is fixed). I'm guessing several thousand dollars at least.

I wonder if you might not get better results for the same or less money with a less expensive CDP and a preamp ? Just a thought.

2 Parasound A21's Stehno.
With all the new CDP's my hope was dual controlled outputs.
Seandtaylor99 you are probably right on that.
Have any of you had the same desire to run dual amps sans a pre-amp?

Uhh... if the cables are only going to be 1/2 meter can't you just get a cdp with one set of volume controlled outs and use splitter 'Y' cable to the amps???

"halves the input impedance" True, but should be ok with reasonable amps and cd players and a short cable.
