Searching for CD/DVD Player with volume control

This is from the other day :

The only thing that has changed is your budget, and that was only $100. Do you think that by going up $100 more that this will expand your options ?

A few members offered suggestions and maybe what you are wanting in this price range cant be found and expectations are set to high.

That is why I am asking.

Suggestions include modding my Oppo which is to expensive, and adding a DAC which would eliminate the volume control to my power amp. Neither of these help.

I noticed that the Cambridge 540 DVD player had a volume control on the remote, but I don't know if it controls its audio output, or if this older unit is better than the Oppo.

What about other brands...that is my question. Does anyone have experience with another DVD player. I know many cdp have volume controls, so I'm asking about DVD players.

If there were other options that were in your price range, I am sure members would have mentioned this, but as you see, you are limited.

Why not just keep what you currently have ?

Definitely the Oppo 983!

I dont see beating the oppo for $400.
