I don't think so it still sets one back a grand but it makes the best for a single format (wav) player and all depends how much one loves their music, especially in a small screen-less package with exceptional battery life one need not look further and .wav vs. .wav I'll take the Tera over my AK Jr. or Opus # 1 any day. In all my years of portable listening formats don't make near the difference as a great recording regardless of format of course I know this is so subjective but I also know what I hear Of course if that does not work for you just remember .........."Love is a stranger in an open car" LOL Of course with all that said I could save you $200/$300 on that and even get you an amp and iem's included. Never been a secret Pod loves the Shanling house sound and of all my amps Ray's pretty much leaves that house sound alone while delivering solid power and like the Tera battery for days weeks in many cases Always keep in mind this is just one old ferts opinion Every time I'm in this rig all my mind keeps saying song after song is Day-Yam-It
Spending time with my first new CIEM, Av1s. Paired with the KPE's Lyre Acoustic cable & Shanling UP2 before upgrading the cable to the EA Origin cable.
