End-game DAP (YMMV)
Pros: Subjective sound quality; form factor, build & looks; instant on/ off & straightforward controls
Cons: Pricy. Limited features & no screen - no cons for me, but reported as such by a number of others.
I have the player for almost a year. I do not have experience with other upmarket DAPs, but I am familiar with Apple products, Sansas and some stationary gear (a bunch of open headphones and speaker setups). Tera Player together with Ultrasone Edition 8 or beyerdynamic Tesla T5P remains my favorite setup. Actually I prefer it to my stereo (which is decent), - it's observation based, as I hardly switch on the stereo lately (available contents being identical, - CD/DAC is connected to my Mac, so there is everything what's on Tera & more). Subjective sound quality is very natural and involving, and Tera Player virtually does not create any listener fatigue...
