CD/SACD Players with volume control under 4K?

I am having Alex Peychev, of APL Hifi mod a Denom 3910 with digital volume control. I am absolutely positive the unit will be Fantastic. I already have his SACD 1000 with volume Control, and A/B the Exemplar 2900 to the 1000 using the Exemplar pre-amp. Later I listened to the 1000 with the pre hooked up, and without. I did this back and forth over a couple of days, with same 6 recording. Wow, I thought with the Pre, the 1000 sounded better, at first. I was wrong in the final analysis. The 1000 w/o the pre had more air between the notes, a little nore extension, both top and bottom, AND a bit deeper soundstage....Highly recommended

Linn Unidisk SC has a volume control but that's right at $5K.

I ordered a Modwright Sony 999es w/volume control. I can't wait to hear it.

Does the Denon come stock with digital volume control or does Mr. Peychev add that? And, have you rec'd it yet...If so, is it better than the Phillips you have/had. Thanks!

i just bought the reference series marantz SA 11s...it is a SACD and have volume control on the remote
