CD Player Connected Directly to Amp


I have an Ayre amp hooked up to a set of Maggies just recently moved from my main system creating a second system. Since I only want to play CD's on it I want to find a CD player I can hook directly to the amp. I know Wadia and Proceed can but would like to find other options and opinions. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!

Check out the Levinson 39. It also has a volume control that operates in the analog domain. In addition, it also offers some limited digital inputs for other devices. I am using a 39 running directly into a Mcintosh MC202 with balanced cables. In many ways this is close to tube sound with solid state and digital.
Check out the Audio Aero. It has a volume control with remote function of the entire player including volume and is one of the most enjoyable digital systems available. Another option to the EVS is a Placette passive volume control. These are exceptionally good passives. Not quite in the same class but very good is the Reference line Pre-eminence passive control. Both of these passives can be had with remote volumne.
You may also run a McCormack Micro Line Drive in passive mode.Great sound at approximately $300.

I second the micro-line drive. Great build, only the essentials (3 inputs, volume control) and can be either active or passive.
Wadia 9 + 7 combo connect direct to power amps is the best aproach. Best of the best. I used to have Mark Levinson No.26S (a true reference pre-amp) even with the Wadia's connect to the preamp. Until I hook the up the Wadia 7 + 9 combo directly to the amps, there is no going back. The different is like listening to the hi-fi. vs. going to the concert hall (OC Performing Art Center) Need I say more ? Cheers.
