Wasnt touched in post(other than dither/resample ), and levels peaked at -10.
Something odd's going on, then. After listening, I checked out the clip in Audition and there's a fair amount of clipping from the 1:30 mark onwards (to the tune of ~800 samples per channel). What are you using for dither? I wonder if maybe you're using a dither scheme within a compressor, like Waves L2/3, and accidently had the compressor turned on during the processing. I know I've done it before! I don't know of anything in the MP3 conversion process proper that would cause this, so that's my first guess.
This can't possibly be live - there's no crowd whatsoever. But maybe that's just the super-polite European audience effect.
Live show, or just setting up playback of studio material to get a feel for how the gear sounds? Not trying to knock this thing, just seeking to understand what exactly I'm listening to.

Just noticed this...when did you get a Deva V?!?!??? Or is this a loaner? Either way...
