No need for chasing firmware updates...

...as Charles was concentrating on adjusting it's pricing rather than firmware update [to which there is none and is a good thing as he can spend time on imaginative pricing].
 
Imagine I paid Euro 8xx something for my Tera back when and that represents the "fair value" of the player.  Of course, this is a free world and you have every right to manipulate your followers' as long as they keep their faith regardless how much you ask for. 
 
For those who already owned the Tera at a lower price can take a smile up in the sky as they have not paid for a "good player" at an extravagant price and some will persuade you to take the plunge at current price regardless of common sense.

Form Charles:
" The Tera's playtime is a function of the SD-card used, because the card draws half of the total current ".
So the less the SD card power consumes the longer the playback is.
Does anybody know what's the catch consumption on various SD card brands?

Lol are you as nuts as Charles himself? Powering your earphone is multiple times more energy consuming than reading an SD card!! And even then looking for the least power consuming card I assume? Omgggg

Edit to clarify
Of course it consumes energy and compared to really sensitive earphones it might somewhere be a bit significant but differences between SD cards should be really really small

Ruben relax dude,i am using only one pair of headphones and i know them very well,so i know how long the battery life is per charge.But if different SD card brands have a different power consumption that is a different story.
Nevertheless you have never seen or heard the Tera Player right?

Crazy pricing inflation like what new units selling now........when i bought from you last year, it was only 1k GBP, it seems inflation of new units also push up the price for used ones......not a good news for those who haven't own one.........

 

[musicday]

Yeah but the price is not bad considering how much a new one cost.
And for the price i will take any time over an AK product or any other player.
The Tera Player is made to play music and to last.
Ask guys who brought the first ones in 2011 and they are still going as in the first day

Well, to be balanced, it should be pointed out that if anyone were to read through the thread, there are a fair number of Tera owners who have moved on to other makes of DAP, including AK products.

 

[musicday]

That is true,some have moved but others haven't as they don't see the need for a different player- me for example.
Tera Player is the best for me.

 

[Kiats]

Of course, MusicDay. Just wanted to qualify the statement which I thought was just a wee bit expansive.

I will still like to know more about the Tera Player and your Plus5 especially they are fully burned in by now,if that exists for BA drivers.Is this best combo you ever heard?
Thank you Kiats,you are always a great help.

 

[Ruben123]

Ba drivers and the high impedance output of the tera a great match? Don't make me laugh lol

Ah... So, Ruben123, you have heard the combo then?

 

[musicday]

Ruben hasn't heard or seen the Tera Player unfortunately, but he still like to comment on the sound.If he was closer i would have made a special effort and let him audition mine and hear for myself what he been missing all the years
