check out Aesthetix Romulus with volume control. Tube unit, sounds analogue! Best I've heard.

"Sounds Real Audio is a Bricasti dealer. That however in no way affects his opinions."

Of course not.

It's a bit ironic that Sounds Real Audio recommends the Bricasti M1 DAC when you asked about a CD player with a volume control.

At the same time, they recommend that you not get a Wadia since they have discontinued CD players.

Wadia has always been known primarily known for their DACs and their digital volume control.

While it seems to be an unpopular move on Wadia's part, the fact that they see the market as turning more towards computer or server based instead of actual CD transports allows them to focus more on their DACs, just like Bricasti and many other companies.

I stand by my suggestion that the Wadia S7i is a top level CD Player.
