running a CDP directly into an amp(s) isn't always the best thing to do and your assumption that it is, shouldn't be etched in stone. While eliminating a box, with all of it's circuitry seems to make sense in the 'less is best' vein, it can often lead to a very sterile presentation. In addition, not all analogue/digital volume controls are created equally. Further, one loses about 1 bit of resolution for every 6 db of attenuation in the digital domaine, so if you're not cranking it, you're not hearing it all.Just a caveat.
If I were to look for a new CDP and I didn't have money for units lke the Burmester, Linn, Accuphase, etc., I'd definitely try to audition as many Universal or SACD combo players as I could. More choices are coming to market daily, so one isn't stuck with Sony and/or Marantz.
Many times at this level, it comes down to preference and not necessarily what is 'better.'
Take care, Chris
