Jayme, what would you be using for an amp and speakers to feed this volume controlled cdp with?
I have tired this several times..and each time did not like the sonics of a cdp directly into a power amp. Used the Resolution 55, the Levinson 39, two highest-end Sony's and some others..but the sound was always poorer than through a good pre-amp..esp. at low volume levels.
Actually for a minimalist system(needing only 1 set of interconnects) a cdp with a great integrated is the same number of boxes and interconnects as a voulme controlled cdp with a power-amp.
Best of success, Jim
