The 3950 does sound pretty darn good for $70!
I'm currently using it as a transport for my Ack!dAck,
and it is doing a good job in this role. The transport
is very quiet, and it smooth in opeining/closing the
drawer. I like how the transport mechanism uses rubber feet
between it and the chassis for extra vibration reduction.I am very tempted to start modding this unit, starting
with cleaning up the power supply, which appears to be the
weakest link. Or, going with linear power supplies, which should make a big improvement. When not using this unit with an external dac, this unit should benefit from replacing the stock dual opamp IC
with something like a BB OPA 2604. Also, the main PCB uses all
through-hole electrolytic caps, which can be easily swapped for
larger, higher quality Panasonic FC's or something else.Once modded, the 563A is a dynamite universal player for a low price. I'm sure the Toshiba can be modded to sound very good as well, for an even lower price if you are not looking for SACD, DVD-A, etc.
