Clearly it's not mistracking, nor is it clipping.

You mentioned later in your post that Spin It Again always saves the
WAV file as 16/44.1. Could it be that the sample rate conversion within
SIA is introducing this distortion? A useful test would be to try
recording at high res again with some other program (eg. Audacity -
it's freeware) to eliminate SIA as a possible culprit.
