That's very nice but I'm also trying to move away from tubes. I'm currently using a Pass B1 buff with a gold point attenuator that I really do like a lot. I'm trying to find a single buffer and attenuator in one package.

You could go for the original unity-gain-only Schiit Saga with a LISST solid state "tube" in place of the 6SN7. The original Saga is no longer available new but used ones do come up from time to time.
Active devices in Pre90 are - E-Stat 17:35:01 08/24/24 (3)
eight OPA1612 op amps.

  There are also two Texas Instruments TPA6120A2 high fidelity headphone amplifier modules. Specs for these are impressive, especially considering they cost less than $2 each.

That's what the Topping is. (Well, it has an input switch.)

Solid-state with resistor-switched volume control and stupid-good specs.

I bought it to use as a line-driver but use it for lots of things and it is always transparent, IMHO.
