If you used the individual outs of the MPC, then that's your problem right there. The MPC 3000 (and S3000) has 18-bit converters on the stereo outs and 16-bit on the individuals. Also, some models (def. MPC 2000) used just 4 converters multiplexed across the 8 outputs instead of one per output (def. MPC 60). Also, I would not use the digital out of the MPC. A large part of the "MPC Sound' comes from the slight midrange rise of the D/A converters.
