California Audio Labs – Icon Mk II CD Player - HDCD

I am currently selling a direct from CAL most-full-featured HDCD PowerBoss model. Listing ID lis7c7e1

Mine came direct from Cal Audio but it says HDCD on it and does not say "PowerBoss"

The Stereophile article says "The Power Boss upgrade for the California Audio Labs Icon Mk.II ... adds HDCD "  but it does not say that an HDCD player has PowerBoss.

I am curious because this elderly player seems to be as good as the OPPO one (the $500 Oppo, not the expensive one).

I have lots of experience with the CAL product line, but beyond conversational deduction, you may want to reach out to these guys with your specific serial number, etc. Maybe they can get you closer to your definite identification:

But yes, the ICON is impressive, enough to make us wonder about these refinements!
