CD Players With Balanced Variable Outputs?


Rather than browsing through a long list of higher end models, I'll show my ignorance here. Is this combination available, or are these two features together incompatable?

FP,

I'm guessing that he needs balanced outputs that have a variable volume control.

"I'm guessing that he needs balanced outputs that have a variable volume control."

Alas, that was the intent of my question. My limited understanding is that many players, perhaps not the very best, "lose something" when using the variable outputs rather than the fixed outputs. Does this change if the variable outputs are run through XLR balanced outputs.
Springbok - is the variable output an option on the APL/Denon 3910? (My understanding was that this unit had fixed outputs only).
