In addition to its fully customizable 3D spatialization effects, 4-channel sound,
advanced EQ, time-scaling, and audio environment settings, EAX is bringing
"Smart Volume Management" (SVM) to your favorite digital audio player.
Employing advanced predictive analysis, SVM intelligently controls the dynamic
range of a song, providing a superior audio experience, especially in difficult
listening environments such as a plane or car. Additionally, a Match Volume feature
keeps the playback volume of all the tracks on your play list at the same level. You
no longer have to adjust the volume from song to song. With these awesome EAX
technologies, the NOMAD Jukebox delivers an unsurpassed listening experience.

About USB
An older serial input/output technology than IEEE 1394, USB is commonly used for
lower-speed input devices, such as printers, scanners, mice, keyboards, cameras
and other devices connected to your computer. A USB device is self-configuring
and has the same “hot swap” capability as 1394. You can connect up to 127
devices per computer.
Although USB transfers are faster than most parallel or serial port transfers, high
speed devices like CD-Recorders and portable hard disk drives will probably be
1394-enabled.
About
IEEE1394
Also known as FireWire™, IEEE 1394 is high-speed serial input/output technology
for connecting devices to a your computer. Originally developed by Apple™, it is
now an official industry standard.
While similar to USB, 1394 is more suited to high-speed multimedia devices such
as video camcorders, synthesizers, hard disks and other mass data storage media.
Like USB, 1394 offers incredible convenience with “hot swap” capability. This
means that you do not have to turn off or restart your computer when attaching or
detaching your NOMAD Jukebox 3.
1394 supports up to 63 devices per computer, and provides devices with power. It
also features automatic configuration, with no device IDs or terminators required.
1394 ports support data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps or 400 million bits per
second. 1394 devices are self-configuring.
