Which CD Player /DAC From The Following...

Hey. I'm gonna purchase a used CD player / DAC shortly and would like to hear people's experience with the following players:

CAL Icon mkII
CAL CL-5
Cambridge Audio D500se
Denon 1650AR

I've only heard the Icon player because I know someone who has it and I like it but I don't have the ability to demo any of those players and almost always buy used so I can sell it if I don't like it. I was also considering getting one of the CAL DACs and leaving my Sony CDP-CA9ES as the transport.

System is Rotel Pre, Adcom amp, Thiel 1.5s, MIT cabling.

Whachya think?

Thanks! leo.

Hi,
I had the Cal Icon Mk II cdp used as a transport and hooked up to a MSB Link III dac with good results! I also know someone using the Cal Icon Mk II with a Orelle dac! Both sound was good!
