But is CharlesвЂ™ best attempt good enough to take on the best players we have on the market? And IвЂ™m pretty convinced that Charles is nothing short of a genius just by reading his websites. This guy, in his frustration of not being able to find a good digital player, used all the know how he has and set out to create the very best player heвЂ™s capable of. How he discovered jitter even when reading from a static SD card memory, and how he rewrote the instructions to eliminate that jitter. How he went to write the instructions for the ARM controller chip in an assembly language (a really basic form of computer programming, and a very complicated one to learn). The choice for an R2R D/A chip rather than the more common sigma-delta. It was really interesting to read through the process that he went through when developing the Tera player. But still, the question is вЂњhow good is this $1,099вЂќ digital audio player really is? Obviously we all know that itвЂ™s entirely CharlesвЂ™ right to charge whatever he wants on a product that he developed from scratch and hand build one by one. Much protests have been thrown at the pricing of the Altmann Tera Player, which is reasonable given the features people are used to having with their lower priced DAPs. If you do a conversion rate, that в‚¬840 price tag equals to a staggering $1,099 price tag in the US dollars. Exceptional sound quality (supposedly).No EQ, no bass boost, no вЂњsound enchancementвЂќ features of some sort.Here we are, with a spartan digital audio player that costs 840 Euros.
