CD/SACD Players with volume control under 4K?

I am slowly aquiring more and more hybrid sacd's and sure would like to hear one. Is there a player with volume control that sounds good in both formats? This is for a 2 channel only system.

The Resolution Audio Opus 21 doesn't play SACD, as far as I know.

I am also looking for an SACD player with a volume control. I would also like to add that, from what I have read, the Consonance SACD 2.0 has a volume control, but it only works with the RCA outputs. If you want to use balanced outputs, you don't have volume control. Also, the balanced outputs are not truly balanced. Apparently, the 2.2 is balanced, but it is a red book player, not SACD.

I know it's not SACD, but the Resolution Audio Opus 21 is what you want. It's extraordinary, IMHO.

Ok, yep, the Resolution Audio Opus 21 does not play SACD. I was just so excited to tell you about it, I mis-read your post. Omains is right though, it is a great player!

I think the Shanling SACD CDP has volume control. And, Underwood Wally has a modified version of the player. He's a honest guy, I've dealt with him before.

Good Luck!

Right now, it appears that volume-controlled SACD is only coming out of China. (Consonance and Shanling). Has anyone compared the two players?
