On more extended listening I went back to the old favourite 7.1.1 in the end.
I just wish I could have this (and stay with SAM1), but with the new features of 8, like DSD.
To my ears, each version since just seems a bit more 'aggressive' for want of s better word - despite seeming a bit more exciting at first. Be it technically right or wrong, bass just seems better was v7 and SAM1 too - maybe it's just the profile for my speakers who knows.
Anyway, will be sticking here for a bit, living without DSD ad new display is a very small price to pay for the sound I had when I bought the unit.
