Distortion in .wavs?

I ripped Radiohead's In Rainbows as uncompressed .wav files using EAC and copied and pasted it from my hard drive to my SL. When listening to 15 Steps, I noticed that there was some distortion at some parts of the song that didn't sound right. When I put the CD into my Walkman D-NE710, the distortion was gone. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the files, the Meizu, or it's compatibility with them. I'll try re-ripping the CD into .wavs and 320 kbit/s mp3's to see if there is a difference.
This is all through my KSC-75's straight into the player. I have dropped the SL a couple of times at around heights of 3 feet, but I always had my silicon case around it; now I use a plastic case along with the silicon.

Maybe the ripping process is to blame. Although modern CD/DVD drives use internal read error correction some CDs are still read incorrectly (mostly because of scratches).

That's when EAC Secure ripping mode kicks in. :D

Yes. Also, you need a drive that can rip properly, i recommend a Teac CD-540E or CD-W552G if you can get hold of one of those, or a Lite-On drive if you want it to read/write DVDs too, as Plextors are too expensive and aren't that good.

Your average LG drive will have errors slipping through even with EAC's secure mode.

My disc isn't scratched, I ripped it the day I bought it. When EAC checked the ripped .wav's to the ones on the disc, there was only .01% for 2 tracks, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with my drive, which is built into my computer. I've made DVD's and CD's with this drive, and everything always turned out perfectly fine. With my 320 kbit/s mp3's, the annoying buzz/distortion in the tracks is gone. I love my Meizu as it is, but I hope that they fix this in the next firmware update.

good drives achieve 0%.

You may consider ripping to FLAC, which is still lossless but saves quite some space in the process.

Also, if you are using equalisers, spatialiser or bass boost, i would suggest turning them off and hearing the result.
