Music Hall CD25 mods/new op amp questions vs California Audio Labs CL 15, Icon II, etc...advice NEEDED!!!

I currently have a Music Hall CD25. Recently I purchased a California Audio Labs Icon II with Powerboss HDCD mods to compare. Although the CAL is fuller, it doesn't sound as liquid as the Music Hall. However, the Music Hall has some issues with brightness that I don't like. My solution is to either live with the CAL, upgrade the Music Hall, or move into the CAL CL 15. For the Music Hall upgrade, all I would be doing is replacing the op amps with Underwood Hi-Fi's 627 kits. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about any of these players or this scenario in general that they could offer me. Anyone just change the op amps in their CD 25 without the other mods? How would you describe the change in sound?
