Replace CAL ICON Mk2?

Hi all,
Looking for some input here. I am wondering if anyone has an opinion on the ICON MK2 cd player. I am not unhappy with it, but are the newer players DAC's far superior to the CAL?
It was well received back in the day, but it is getting older. Is the performance of the newer sub $1000 players that much better that it warrants an upgrade? An recommendations on a replacement unit?
Thanks

I had one for many years. It was good for its day.

There are many sub $1000 players these days that are way better. Cambridge audio or NAD are safe bets. Even my $600 Denon player/recorder, which succeeded the Cal, was (surprisingly) a step up.
More to discover
