I didn't get a CD player until 1992-1993 and didn't buy a high end one until the late 90s.
A lot of AV stuff is of marginal impact for me but if you have a decent sized HD display, 40" or larger, BDs are superior to DVDs, which were leagues better than VHS or LD. In fact, I didn't buy many LDs because I figured DVDs were coming soon. If I love a film, and I will watch it enough to own it, I want it in the best presentation I can get.
Oppo makes some of the very best DVD players around, and their BD is excellent. With the ability to play imports, this makes the Oppo interesting to me regardless of features liek SACD. I'm under no delusions that the Opps - although it sounds pretty good on audio for a modest priced universal - is gonna sound better on Redbook than my Cary 303/300 CD player did in the high end audio rig. But I'll buy a nice outboard DAC for CDs and I will have a nice one box solution for the living room for mucis and movies.
Cambridge makes nice gear. I like British stuff and loved my Arcam AVR.
Are you enjoying your Sony? I see a marked difference between a good BD and a good DVD.
