My first suspicion was a bad cable or something in the system. But when I tried a commercially made CD, no distortion ... only my CDs, and my iTunes burned copy of Nickel Creek's commercial recording distorted. Sounds like I'm the only person to experience this though. Could it be a clocking thing? Recently I started being more interconnected with digital connections (MBox - Yamaha Digital Mixer - MOTU 8-Pre). Sometimes the mixer displays a complaint about the word clock, and since it sounds fine here I disregard the warning.
