Default What is this noise? MOTU 8 user

I got a new interface from the US today (I live in Australia), it is my 2nd one, I am upgrading from Mbox Mini 3rd gen.

I have downloaded the drivers and set it up and play a itunes file, youtube etc..this is the noise I get. Something like sampling distortion but I don't have any other gear connected...and the noise is still there regardless of what sample rate I change the MOTU to in it's audio setup dialogue box.

I have RTFM, but not sure yet how to address it. If it is sampling distortion, what have I missed in the setup process?

As you can't attach MP3, I uploaded the noise to soundcloud:

Let me know what you think, Thank you

SPECS:

Macbook Pro late 2011 13 inch
OSX 10.9.5
MOTU 8 Pre

Play something that's not from an online service and see how that sounds.

Is this the 8pre, 8m, or 8a?

Try something that's not from an online service and see what happens. See if you can somehow play a cd through the interface and how does that sound.

Someone told me this was bit crushing... made me realise I forgot one step in installing new hardware..open up MIDI SETUP. I didn't do anything else and now there is no more bit crushing
