the interesting thing is that the USB firmware has not changed since 7.x, it is from 3/2014. The Devialet is like a computer, whenever some processing is done (like SAM or low pass filters) it affects SQ. While SAM V1 was always reducing the top frequencies a little bit SAM V2 makes the sound more aggressive. Of course this can be speaker dependant, different profiles, different processing.
If I go back to 7.1.3 I would really miss ICM, the other new functions are not so important for me. But 8.1 without SAM was sounding very good, not sure if 7.1.3 is really that much better. If the differences are only very small I will keep 8.1.
