While the Prima MK I CDP did have an analog volume control, the Prima CDP MK II did NOT have a digital or analog volume control. I am not sure about the newer MK III (?) version of the CDP with the new faceplate.

The Prima MKII DAC does have volume control.
Thanks for all replies. Just got news that the Prima MKIII does not have volume control.
Have the new AA Prima cd player up and running.Connected balanced via Ridge Street Audio Poiema !! XLRs to my Gryphon Callisto 2100,driving my beloved Merlin VSM-MMs.

I think the Prima is FANTASTIC !! Quite a statement, considering it replaced the Mark Levinson 37 and 36s combination ....
Just to show you that I'm teachable: I love my Prima, but indeed, digital has come a long way in the past three years, and I certainly realize that the Prima, while amazing in the $3k price range is not the end all. It's always been the source, IMHO, that is the most important component of one's sytem, with the speakers, of course, being right behind. I've been doing (there goes the upgrade itch. It's your fault Stan) oodles of homework and have been speaking with owners of the APL Denon 3910. That is going to be my next purchase this spring. You'll see a Prima for sale on the 'gon, then, if one of my friends doesn't buy it. What has been wonderful about my research is finding audiophools who have owned not only the Prima, but the Capitole MKII, as well. Have had all three to compare in their systems and went with the APL 3910. I realize another league altogether given the price. It will be awhile before I exude my impressions, but I promise not to be too nauseating...lol.. don't hurt me Stan.. peace guys, warren :-)
Sent APL a mail once,regarding pricing on the APL modded Denon,unfortuanately,got no response...Then asked a friend who owns an APL Denon to ask the person at APL to kindly answer my mail.Turns out he thought I was an African scammer ... !! Did not want to answer my mail for that reason...
No "CE" marking on the APL,so import not possible...
