I own the Icon Mk II Power Boss w/HDCD with which I am very pleased. This is an excellent cd player with alot of muscle in the bass and lower mid region. It is very open sounding and detailed without being bright or harsh in the treble. It also images very well, revealing layers of depth into the sound stage, as well as positioning from left to right. I've seen the Icon MK II on this site going for around $700 - at that price you will definitely not go wrong!!! Don't hesitate to buy one if you find one for sale - you won't regret it. I use mine with silver-clad copper interconnects from LAT international, and I found them to work well with the Icon MK II.
