Deep thanks to all of you that have replied. For the time being, I'm making do with an Oppo BDP-83 Special Edition that sounds somewhat spectacular; however, I would be the first to admit that there are better candidates out there. First, it's not balanced and second it has no independent volume control both of which I would ascribe a huge premium in terms of eliminating a pre-amp. Still, it really sounds wonderful through my Paradigm Studio 100 V.4 speakers.
If anyone can add to this thread regarding my original questions I would be very grateful; but in the interim, I will listen as such to the system as described. Thank you again to all that have replied.
