I use both WAV and MP3 on my sony. i think its the same as any other portable player, as in you will be able to notice a difference between 128kbps and WAV, especially in the high frequencies, but when you have 320kbps rip, you will not be able to notice a loss in quality.
I try to use WAV whenever i can (ie if i own the original CD) because not only is it the best quality you can get but it will also play gapless.
