How do my DIs sound?

I've been doing a little recording with my new DI box. One of them is straight into my interface and the other is with the DI. Ignore the boring playing - I was trying to do something where I could get the articulation consistent. I think the one with the DI box has clearer high end (and this becomes more apparent when I record guitars) Also, the line input on my interface gets a lot of bleed from the output for some reason. What do you guys think of them in general?

(I might upload the wavs too, but they are pretty big)

Edit: Here's a clip with some drums:

A sounds better to me.

You should call the company who makes the interface about the bleed from the output.

Wow I really wasn't expecting the difference to be that big! A is the clear winner, I'm guessing that's the DI box. the input on the interface was line level or instrument?

To tell you the truth, I can't actually remember which one was which. I think the instrument input bleed is a software problem actually. What makes you guys think A sounds better?

Oh I know that cubase click well

To me, both sound exactly the same, except B being 2-3 dB louder
