Yes, its funny but I think maybe 7.1.3 is still a bit better - slightly less analytical. The main problem I have with 8.1 is with some vocals which are a bit harsh/grainy. I've always associated those type of defects with noise in the system (EMI/RFI/mains) but I'm not sure why 8.1 should be worse in this respect. Perhaps DPM is part of the cause - worth trying switching it off anyway.
Actually I'm so much in love with 7.1.3 that I still resist firmware 8 and to date never tired any release , neither 8.0 nor 8.1.0 (both old and new).
I still can't believe that we have to denote releases by old and new
