If it's your hardware it should show up also on playing the original wavs.
Also try decoding the vorbis file back into a .wav (e.g. with one of
winamp's diskwriter plugins, CDex, etc.) and play back the encoded wav
versus the original.

Last version is 1.40 beta 9, it's the first that uses RC2 vorbis encoder.
It also has support for winamp plugins (don't know since when), I don't
remember if it can play, decode to wav or both; it comes with older
versions of winamp vorbis plugin, just copy the latest from winamp.
