7.1.3 Much better mid and treble c.f. 7.1.1 and more powerful, realistic bass. A huge upgrade for me.
8.0 Less beguiling in the mids than 7.1.3 and leaner bass but still a significant upgrade over 7.1.1 in these areas.
I've tried all three flavours on two other people and the verdict is unanimous! (no hints given about firmware and coin toss to decide which plays first etc.)
The winner so far is 7.1.3, though I do have a caveat about over ripe bass on some tracks.
Did you do the test with subsonic filter on (as it is by default) on 8.0?
Thanks,
