Which files in particular ? I've just been slicing up those (Alto 
Flute) and haven't foud any obvious digital bursts or spikes so far. 
After reading your post I did a quick visual inspection and couldn't 
see anything either. Perhaps it's something to do with the way Windows 
is reading those aiff files.
I did find substantial DC-offset on all of them though. It looks like 
the 'ambience' which separates the notes is just low-level noise which 
has been put in there, after the fact, and I think thats where the 
DC-offset may have come from. There is a distinct step at the beginning 
and end of each note, which looks very similar in all cases. [I don't 
think it's just the fact they are all from the same instrument.]
