For you I would use the Oppo as your transport for CDs, if your only other option is the Cambridge.
What I am saying is that you will have spend a lot more than $500 to get a better transport than the one in the Oppo.

Wow -- I didn't expect that. I was sure the dedicated transport (Cambridge Audio CXC) would beat the Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player.
I'm still tempted to put the BDP-93 downstairs with the TV, because it's a really good upsampling player for DVD and Blu-ray. I do have another Oppo, a DVD-981, that I could use as a transport. I'm not sure it's in the same league as the BDP-93, though, or the Cambridge transport.
