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?

Guillaume, you prefer it with DPM off, but what was your subsonic filter setting?
I'm away, so I cannot test the effect of DPM on my config, but I could distinctly hear a reduction of the bass level with subsonic filter on instead of off.
Thanks,
Jean-Marie
Ha! That means your ears go sub sonic! Lucky you
They don't, but unfortunately a subsonic filter is not a brick wall under 20 Hz. I did test it on 40Hz, 30Hz and 20Hz test tones and could clearly hear a noticeable difference of level as early as 30Hz, which is not subsonic and very present in the kind of music I'm listening: pipe organ.
