Is this cheating?

Hehe,

have a look at this, I wonder how many times this has happened. This takes rebranding to the limit!!

A quote from another site;

Amazing
The Oppo BDP83 retails for £500 in the UK
Lexicon stick the Oppo chassis in a Aluminium box and RRP is £3500
Thats a USD $4900 mark up.
Quote from the Lexicon website - There are no reviews for this product at this time.
I wonder why?

Theres another famous case of Goldmund doing something similar but I think int hat case they at least did some improvements!!

Apparently they are not the only one:

At least NuForce though are leaving the oppo branding on it and state that its their tuned version. I must research what ESS chip they are using. I know the 9018 in my DAC is very good sounding.
