The player gets power from the built-in Li-Ion rechargeable battery. It takes about 4 hours to charge it up. The playback time, according to the specs and our measurements, comes to 12 hours. They player worked 12 hours non-stop at the highest volume level with the supplied headphones connected.

The player supports almost all needed formats:

  • mp3 - from 8 to 380 Kbit/s at the sampling frequency of 44 kHz; 

  • WMA - from 64 to 160 Kbit/s V8, protected (V9 is not yet supported); 

  • WAV - 16/44, 16/48 (24/96 unsupported).


When a track is played, you can see its genre, artist, title, album and time on the display. 

In general, I've got a good impression of the Nomad Jukebox Zen Player. Thanks to its compact size the player is very easy in use (and the leather case comes in handy). It looks even greater in comparison with the bulky Jukebox3. The IEEE 1394 interface makes possible to speed downloading various compositions. A potentially possible purchase of the remote control adds such features as recording, FM tuner, radio recording.

On the other hand, the Nomad Jukebox Zen doesn't read wav files 24/96, has inferior sound at a high volume level and is rather pricey at the moment ($350). This stylish gadget is evidently for well-off people.

Pros:

original and stylish design;USB 1.1 and IEEE 1394 interfaces; actual 12 hour of running from the battery; large informative display; handy menu navigation; EAX effect processor; recording (via remote control shipping separately); leather case.

Cons:

preamplifier overload at a high volume level (headphones-out); wav files 24/96 unsupported; WMA9 unsupported; overpriced
