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.
