Hello,
Although I´m quite curious about the V8 FW, for the moment I won´t dare (been following this forum)...
In fact, I only downloaded the 7.1.3 beta FW yesterday and "upgraded" from de SW 7.1.0, which I was very happy with for the last year or so (Sonus Faber Stradivari + SAM, Devialet 250).
I enjoyed the wider Sound Stage and a clearer and more articulated bass, but did not like at all the much more high frequency emphasis (via line input), that was quite harsher (digital glare) and unfriendly analytical...
Unfortunately, at least for now, I will go back to 7.1.0.
