Variable output cd players


I am looking to add a cd player to my line up that has variable output. So I may bypass the preamp. I am familiar with Wadia and the Resolution Audio Players. Do you have any other recomendations.

Thanks,

John

John,

I've owned several players with varible output. I like this setup as it allows me to afford a much better player because I'm not spending big-bucks on a quality pre-amp.

I've owned all of these:

Theta Miles (no longer sold)
Resolution Audio Opus 21 (you already mentioned. It is really good)
Cary CD-308 (Cary has several CD and DVD players w/variable out)
Quad 99 CDP (The value King IMHO)

Enjoy,

TIC
Jadis makes one also. The Opus 21 was not as good as the Wadia 861 basic but was better then the Auucphase in my system, but it did need a better power cord then the stock cord to get there. The 861 was the best in my system even using the stock power cord. The others mentioned above are very good players also what ever fits your budget.

Happy Listening
