The Altmann Tera Player - Thread

Q: My Tera won't play Micro SD cards in an SD adapter. Is that typical? If so why does it make a difference...the cards are SanDisk Ultra's same as my SD size cards?

I would not recommend using micro SD cards of any type with SD adapter. Sometimes is easier for each to get corrupted or dirt to get inside the adapter, so it will not play.
For best experience and the longest playback time, also the cheapest possible and reliable card use only : SanDisk SDHC blue card class 4. They come in 8, 16, 32 & 64 GB.

Micro SD cards should indeed also work. Make sure you format them in FAT32 format. Any SDXC card (64GB and bigger) will come formatted as ExFAT by default.

Sure anything up to 128 GB, micro SD or SDHC, SDXC, will work fine with the later Tera-Player models, if they are in FAT32 format.
Make sure the files WAV are pure, without meta data, album art etc.

Please do not give incorrect information, up to 128GB (and maybe even bigger) does not only work on the later models, it works fine on all models.
You know this very well, as you I tested it for you with my model, which was #5 of january 2012.

I have tried 512 GB and 256 GB before and it didn't work. But as a fact, there is a big diffence between very early models and new ones: 2019 model for example.

And what is this 'big' difference, besides the price?

There is a simple solution to answering that question. Call Charles and ask him at +49-212-233-7039.

From another perspective, there is no price for love. So if you love the Tera, what is a few thousand Euros?

Well said John, brilliant.

This is a great combination. Ultrasone can be shrill when paired with some sources but the Tera just balances it out perfectly.

I am yet to try the Edition 5 with the Tera-Player. At the moment I am extremely happy with the sound of my own modified Koss Porta Pro headphones.
Now I am looking to stock more bigger ear pads, spares, etc
This is truly an amazing music player, that works perfectly all the time. I can focus on work and enjoy the music.

"Now I am looking to stock more bigger ear pads, spares, etc"

Levi, Ron Kerlin has earpads and cables, etc., for Koss earphones. Yes he is in the US but maybe the shipping is not too much or he can tell you where to get them yourself.

 

[musicday]

Yes, I have already talked to Ron, and he is a great help. I want to have several Koss headphones, for work, house, gym, etc.

It would be more helpful if you described this alleged 'big difference'.
