Great cd players that can connect directly to a power amp?


(Besides Wadia and Resolution Audio)

EVS makes dacs with analog variable output which work very well.I'm using one myself and have never looked back.Can be used with a preamp also but I have always found it to sound more true to the source without the preamp and I have tried many excellent preamps with it.It's just more pure and clear.Drives the amp very well to more than enough loudness for most music lovers.
it is a mistake to not use a preamp.but i agree with confedboy acuphase is very good.
Cornfedboy & Kirk930:
Accuphase's honco had always argued & recommended that CD was not meant to be hooked directly to the poweramp inspite many people do so just because its got a higher level output. Its ultimately a source and hence must be used with the finest preamp one can afford (& mind you, the superior quality of the preamp has a direct relation on the overall sound).
dCS Elgar and Delius DACs have a superb volume control and can be hooked up directly to the power amps.
