Why not get a small monitor that has a HDMI input. You should be able to find something between 9"-15" for around a hundred dollars new. Check out Overstock, find one that runs off a wallwart, and hook it up to your Oppo, either one.
Unplugging it every time you want to use it with a DVD-A or SACD, is got to be a pain. A simple little monitor would solve that.
I haven't heard the Cambridge and if you can borrow one, give it a listen, but I have had enough experience with transports, and my Oppo to say that I would be very surprised if it was better than using the Oppo for a CD transport. I think you would have to spend a couple thousand to get any real gains.
But I would also encourage you to listen yourself, if you can return the Cambridge.
