Oppo/Nuforce 93 CD/DVDplayer: That good or hype?

I have been recommneded the Oppo 93 as a viable and major upgrade to my Rega Apollo. Yesterday, in checking the NuForce website about their CDP-8 player, I discovered that they offer an upgraded version of the Oppo 93 (special edition) universal player for $899.00. I have read testimonials on the AG site and other blogs that this OPPO player and the OPPO 95 "Extreme Edition" marketed by NuForce rivals which supposedly CD players costing from $2500-$12,000. Keeping in mind the OPPOs incorporate a high quality Blu-Ray DVD player....so X amount of dollars were channeled into video design and performance

I am suspicious of these "claims", but don't want to go through the process of buy, try, and (maybe) return. I can't imagine that the two indicated OPPO's players are going to outperform the Ayre CX-7mp, an ARC CD7, Rega Isis, etc.

It is also annoying that OPPO by itself or in conjunction with NuForce does not offer just a CD player that plays Redbook, SACD, HMCD, or the latest CD format. Some audiophiles don't give a crap about Blu Ray Video, Home theater, or computer audio, Flac, MP or Sky Cloud music servers or files Therefore, I humbly ask to hear some pros and cons from members about the above cited OPPO CD players, and why they are so highly praised. Thank you
