I don't want to break any NDAs, but can any of the 2.0 beta testers or empeg folks respond on how well the empeg performs with CD Quality WAV files. Do you notice any problems with caching? Are the drives spun up more?

I don't think it's any secret that the drives cannot spin down at all when playing WAV. A Mk1 has less than 3Mb of cache memory, enough for only 20 seconds of WAV. You don't want to spin the disks up and down every 20s.
