More critical listening... I am now sure I prefer DPM off.
8.0 is very similar to 7.1.3, overall it's a big improvement on 7.1.1 in my setup.
I still think I prefer 7.1.3 but I can easily live with 8.0
Once again I'm finding DSD sounds especially good but I need to get my hands on a bit more material, shame it's so expensive... go figure!
Given that MAT converts DSD to 40bit/384kHZ PCM, surely DXD can't be too far away?
