MOTU 828mkII Problem (A Whole Lot Of Whistling)

I recently reloaded my computer and started over from scratch (spyware issues). Before the reload my MOTU was working, but I always has a problem with it whistling. Although the whistling was much less frequent, maybe once every 2 or 3 minutes. I had XP as my operating system with no service packs.

My 12years old 16bit converters sound better than RME...why?

How is it possible?

I have an ensoniq sampler from 1993 (asr10) which sounds MUCH better than my RME multiface.

And it is not because coloration or distortion, it simply sounds more "in front", a little bit smoother and warmer and fatter.

I made some tests recording both simple sinus tones and some very fat sounds from my old arp synthesiser.

does a CD burner on a pc make a difference in sound quality?

does a CD burner make a difference in sound or is it the software. ive got nero burning rom that came with my burner. its a 52x24x52x speed. i dont know the brand off hand but it was about 90/100$ i think. i didnt know if there were any "pro" burners out there that makes a difference? thanks a bunch! :D
