I agree that its frustrating that Devialet don't say more (or even anything) about what they're trying to achieve sound-wise with new releases of the firmware.
If this poll is anything to go by 8.0 has clearly not been a success as only just over half the respondents say they 'like' the sound. If you then add in the users who tried it and liked the sound but then had to revert to earlier versions because of software bugs with 8.0 the result must surely be very disappointing for Devialet. I'm also sticking with 7.1.3 for now.
