The sound has changed since I updated to 8.0 and later 8.1. I thought it had something to do with the cable changes that I made so I reintroduced the previous cables into the system. Still no improvement in sound quality. The problem is that the vocals in the stereo image aren't centred anymore, it's more like a diffuse sound rather than pin point sharply defined edges which was the case before. The overall volume level has also gone down. Bad update, at least in my case. Even though DSD is now supported, the sound of PCM files is much better. It's a lot of sum but no substance.
I'm going back to 7.1.3
