I have noticed that some tracks on Qobuz are recorded "hot". Meaning that they exceed the normal 6dB headroom. Qobuz when accessed from the computer has a volume slider that can be adjusted. If the data is sent over at too high of a volume level, the USB DAC will clip. This creates the sound like you are describing.
I looked at the Escape track and got this distortion you mentioned at 47 seconds in. I adjusted the volume down and it was gone.
