I was in a similar situation, I was without my CDP for six months while I waited for its return from repair. I picked up a new Oppo. It does sound good and I was able to slide it over into my video system which was an upgrade.
Another really good CDP (if you can find one) is the Music Culture MC 501A. It sounds MUCH better playing CD's then the Oppo, and the Oppo sounds pretty darn good with CD's. MBL makes the Music Culture MC 501A.
