CDP-102 variable output?!

[cug]

The Classé website states, that the CDP-102 has variable analog output. Does that mean you can skip a pre-amp and use this variable output to connect directly to a power-amp, e.g. the CA-2100 or a CA-2200?

If yes, how well does that work? Can anybody perhaps here test that?

Yes it does. I tried it for a while with my CDP-202 but I wouldn't recommend it for the long term. I think I posted some remarks about it a while back.

Hmmm. I've browsed now through about a billion posts but haven't found that one ... Do you remember the context where that might have been?

And why wouldn't you recommend it?

I'll look it up although I don't recall saying too much on the subject in a richly meaningful way.

I think I found it yesterday and the only thing I got from it was, that you were happy to have the pre back. If that was the posting. I'm still not sure, what I'll do ... we'll see. First save some money.
