that will depend on what format of wav file you have.
if it is lossless wav files, that should sound pretty much exactly as a cd.
although some magazine reviewers at stereophile, hifi, as well as absolute sound have prefer lossless files on hard disk over stock cd. so many of these articles that a simple google will list enough to read.

back to wadia i170 sound with ipod loaded with apple lossless files.
well, that is what i listen to and i do not hear anything different over my denon reference cd player playing the same tracks.
