Cd players with variable output?

I'd like to purchase an amplifier and a cd player with variable output so that I can avoid buying a pre-amp. I only listen to cd and don't want to spend money on components that I don't seem to need. Now to the question.
Is the Quad CDP the least expensive "quality" cd player with variable output, or "volume control?"

Viggen,

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Based on your moniker, I assume you know this!:~) But I agree, the Sony is more attractive to me too.

BTW, I like the Viggen too.....

Enjoy,

TIC

Linn's Genki cd player has two set of variable output. very handy if you would like to upgrade to a bi-amp setup. It
features 24bit & HDCD.

The Consonance players have volume control and XLR outputs.
I would like to know if the VC is analog or digital, and if the XLR are fully balanced?

Don't forget the Quad 99 CDP.

There has been some discussion of this CD Preamp all in one lately here and on the AudioAsylum - Including one poster who remarked that it had replaced his more expensive Meridian equipment. May be worth examining.
