HeadFi, Please help! Distortion with FLAC on my UE TF10's

Hello headfi!

I recently purchased the UE TF10's as an upgrade from my Super.fi 5 pro's.

I bought the TF10's anticipating they'd be my "end all, no need to upgrade any longer" solution for portable audio...but was a bit dismayed when I was stuck yesterday listening to high notes turn into a nasty distorted mess.

Setup:

Powerbook G4 (Line Out) playing on VLC and MPlayer, 40% volume. No DAC or AMP in between.

The song I was playing is:
Chris Botti live in Boston ft. Lucia Micarell - Emmanuel

Here's the file for reference (only valid for 6 more days or until it hits 100 dwonloads!)
https://rcpt.yousendit.com/831353145...e855f2bd02b0e8

I used MAX to convert the flac to 320 cbr mp3 and the distortion went away. Are the TF10's just not capable of playing this particular FLAC file? Granted, I don't have too much lossless in my library yet, but this first album I got is preventing me from ripping any more of my CDs to lossless for use with the TF10's

Please advise!

oh and for the record, EQ was set on "Jazz", but I turned it off and the distortion was still there
