Sorry for the confusion. I am the original poster. You are correct that I have not heard the Cambridge. I own the Oppo units (BDP-93 and DV-981), but I don't have any basis of comparison with the Cambridge. The only comparison I have is with my old NAD C541i, which didn't sound as good to me.

I heard some people saying that the Cambridge is better than any blu-ray player... something about being optimized for playing CDs. They use the term "single-speed" in their ad copy, which confused me, because I thought the disc speed actually changed as the laser was reading through the disc.

On the other hand, I've other comments (some in this thread) praising the Oppo players. I could just use my blu-ray player. The disadvantages are that it's hard to play with the settings without taking it downstairs and plugging in the TV, and then unplugging it and bringing it back to my audio system. And it's not as quick jumping between tracks or fast-forwarding as my old NAD CD player was. But it would check the boxes for CD digital output, as well as analog output from SACD, using its pretty good (I think) built-in DAC.

Thanks,

David
