B&W 800D with SAM on 37% and via Ethernet and USB connection - no DPM:
Pros
- Wider Sound Stage
- Clearer and more articulated bass
- USB quality significantly improved
Cons
- A lot of high and mid frequency emphasis
- Voices and Instruments did Sound more Natural with 7.1.1
- Amp ist getting warmer with DPM Off
Will further Continue to Test and Share Findlings
I have just compared USB to AIR Wifi again. You are right, USB has been improved. It is at least on par with AIR now, maybe even better. Need to do more listening...
