Hi there, this post is to clarify which kind of DAC chip is used in the Tera-Player, as some nonsense is written with great conviction over at censorama.
Specification of the Tera-Player is on the www.Tera-Player.com website since it has been lauched in 2011:
DAC: NOS Philips R2R with current output, ASRS element and true 16-bit resolution
The Burr-Brown (TI) 8552 was used on the very first Tera-prototype only.
The 8552 is an excellent DAC (nobody had tried before) and I rate it superior to anything that is used in today's DAPs.
However for the Altmann Tera-Player the 8552 was not good enough.
The production Tera-Player uses a NOS Philips R2R DAC, which is further refined with an ASRS filter element on top of the chip (a prerequisite for the Tera's unmatched natural organic sound.
NOS means 'New Old Stock' as this DAC chip is out of production for at least 10 years.
I have a small stock of these chips so I am happy to offer the Tera-Player for some time to come.
Have great week,
Charles :)
