About the Icon MkII
The California Audio Labs Icon MkII CD player is a high-end audio device designed to enhance sound quality. It features HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) capability, which allows for improved audio performance. The player includes significant upgrades, such as replacing the 18-bit Burr-Brown PCM61P DACs with two 20-bit Burr-Brown PCM1702 DACs. These upgrades improve the signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range, and reduce distortion. The PCM1702 DACs utilize 'Sign Magnitude Architecture,' which enhances linearity by using matched, inverted DACs to minimize glitches around the bipolar zero point. The player supports CD format, has a frequency response of 10Hz to 20kHz, and includes digital connections such as coaxial and optional optical outputs. It comes with a remote control and has a maximum output voltage of 2.7V RMS, with an output impedance of approximately 30 ohms.
