In my search for optimal sound quality on a portable setup, I am looking into using a Nomad Jukebox to store .wav files.
If anyone is already doing this, I have a few questions:-
1) Battery life. Surely this must be appalling! Disk access must be more or less continuous. Or am I missing something?
2) Spin-up times from idle. This is apparently already longer than comfortable with MP3 files. Would it not be far longer with much larger wav files?
3) Sound quality. I use Etymotics (ER4p, but sometimes with the converter cable and amp). I would imagine that there would be a noticeable difference between 320kps MP3s and the .wav files with these phones - can anyone comment from experience?
Many thanks
