To my Sony CE775 player I paid $200 for. It is an SACD/CD player that does multichannel playback also. That player had been discussed to great lengths when it was available.The Tosh 3950 is a decent bargain at the price it is being offered. In my opinion however, it is a better CD player than a DVD player. I prefer the picture and sound quality on the Panasonic RV30 I compared it to last night. That player at closeout price was under $100. The 3950 however I much more preferred for CD playback.
Quite interesting your experince versus the Marantz DV-8400, a $1599 price I noted for that player. That product is quite highly rated by TAS. And I quote: "standard CD playback is better than most stand alone CD only players".
I suppose it is going to be dependent on exactly what folks main purposes is for the Tosh 3950. For $60 I decided to give it a go but I doubted it would outperform the CE775 as I mentioned in a thread I posted about 3 or 4 days ago before I bought it. I was right. The statement made on that player in a review in one of the hi-fi magazines was quoted as "grand larceny for the price".
