The thing that turns me off about those Toshiba DVD players is that they do not support gapless encoding. Try listening to Sgt Peppers with gaps between the tracks, or Dark Side of the Moon. Wow, how annoying! If they didn't do that, I would totally buy one.
Follow Ups:
The "gap" in the SD-3990 appears to have been fixed but the good sonics remain the same...
...is the build quality. The transport is way to noisy for the flimsy chassis. A very heavy book and vibrapods are almost mandatory, at least in the sample I got (3960).That said, it's a great sounding player for no money.
I own a 3960 and am still in the market for a new player in the same price range as the original poster. I listen to vinyl 90% of the time, so I can't justify the expense of an Apollo or anything like that.
I might just go with an inexpensive NAD as I've been happy with their products in the past.

I have used mine a bit since my last post.I almost went mad trying to listen to Strawinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" with interuptions between tracks -- you will agree that the Berliner Philharmoniker did NOT stop untill the very end...
Hence however happy I may be with how it sounds (when you play loud enough to cover the transport's noise), I will need a good afordable CD player.
I have been looking at Marantz'z cd5001 and Cambridge Audio's 540c -- leaning towards CA since my system already has lots of bass prensence (I read that CA 540c is clearer than Marantz, with good yet lighter bass definition).
