yes it will make a difference. it will take 3xs more space and drain battery 2xs faster.

Yea, unless you are going you be sitting down focusing on the music, I would stick with 320 kbs. Right now I'm in the process of converting all of my flac files to 320 because I'm using unamped se535s out of ipods.
With my amped k702s and the sflo2, I could hear a plain difference though, it is less obvious on this setup.
Why 320 and not V0?
VBR's have variable bitrates that will fluxuate lower whereas 320 is constant 320 all the way through. Between 320 VBR or CBR, CBR wins. If it's between 192 VBR or CBR, VBR wins.
I know what VBR is.Using V0, if the music is complex enough to require 320kbps, then it will go up to 320....if not, then it will fluctuate lower. So using straight-up 320 makes no sense compared to V0.....unless you just like wasting space.
i came across this report whereby the reviewer compares different sources, and file conversion schemes on a good stereo. the results are interesting, especially his comments about aac vs mp3 both @ 320kbps. :

daveDerek is that Gentle Giant I see on your avatar? Respect to you!
Almost as good as Transatlantic
GG - absolutely!! and i think they are far more original and interesting than Transatlantic. to each their own.
if you like GG there's a band called 3 Friends (with a couple of original GG members) that's keeping their music alive. i've seen them a few times now ('cause you never know when it'll end) and they are terrific. http://www.threefriends.info/
