California Audio Labs – Icon Mk II CD Player - HDCD

Did all the Icon Mk II players with HDCD have PowerBoss? Or are there some Mk II players with HDCD but not PowerBoss?

And how do you tell?

Thx

I am only selling mine because I graduated to building a JRiver based music server with a $2,000 external DAC. I stored the ICON carefully as a collectors item, but its time for one of my Audiogon brothers to enjoy it now.

How do you like this player? I know it is an older spinner- is its technology outdated in your listening? Happy Listening!
