Depends on your definition of affordable.
Cheapest hands down is iriver H1xx + CF mod. $150 on ebay incl. CF adapter parts... Downside: 16bit only.
JB3 can supposedly be CF modded too, but is hardly worth it when you can have a H1xx for a few bucks extra.

Otherwise you're left with:
MT/MTII (stability issues, YMMV)
D50 (records on Memory Stick though)
PMD-661 (but breaks your affordability benchmarks?)
