Did anyone perform critical listening?
thanks!
I've been trying to compare 7.1.3 with 8.1 this evening. This is not easy as re-programming the amp (I own a 250) takes a few minutes. I am not sure yet, but I have a feeling 7.1.3 still has the edge... 8.1 is clearly improved over 8.0.0 (8.0.0 sounded much like 7.1.1 in my system) and may evenĀ be better than 7.1.3 in some respects. All traces of lower treble harshness is gone. I know some didn't like this. There is also more detail overall in the new version.
Only long term listening will reveal if 8.1 is as good as 7.1.3, which in my system is... magic!
