Fixed.

Should have gotten the bullit-proof RB-1070. Seriously, sorry to hear about your problem. Unless you can prove you are the original owner you may have to pony up the $$ yourself. Sounds like it requires a total check-up by Rotel. This is one reason why I have not bought a used RB-1080 yet.

How sure are you that the distortion was not in the recording. (Play the song on another system or car etc.) I had a similar problem which proved to be the recording.

And that wav file distorts nicely on my crap computer speakers for what its worth.

I never said crackling occurs on just this 1 song.. it simply stood out in that certain song - it happens with any number of artists, songs, recordings...
