Used CD Player with variable outputs

All:

I am looking to get a used CD Player. I'd prefer a single disc for the simplicity, but a changer would be fine too. The only major requirement is that it have variable analog RCA outputs. I want to be able to hook it directly to an AMP for testing. It does not have to be the highest quality, but I don't want a Coby! I have seen units from the early 90's, but I am guessing that the DAC from that far back would be a bit lacking. So mid-90's or later is good with me. Any suggestions would be great.

Thank you.

Budeget is low. $100's not $1000's. In fact < $200 is really the cutoff.

Thanks for the tip on the Oppo, I did already consider that.

The only players with variable volume I've ever seen in the <$200 range are the previously mentioned Oppos, a couple of older Marantz models (forgot the model numbers), a Sherwood CD-7080R (not bad, I owned one for a short time) and the low-end Sony ES model from the mid 90's.

I don't see any of them currently listed on AudiogoN.

Enjoy,

TIC

Some of the Yamaha CDC series has a variable output. They were $300 back in the early/mid 90's, I'm sure you can pick up one now for less than $100.
