I did some intensive listening on the weekend between 7.1.3 and 8.1. The difference is very very small. I would still prefer 7.1.3 maybe, but I finally decided to go with 8.1 because of ICM, cooler operation and DSD capability. The difference in SQ is not worth to go back.
btw., I'm not using SAM anymore.
How much cooler did it run with 8.1?
Does 7.1.3 run hotter than 7.1.1?
In my set up, 8.1 with DPM enabled is at least 6-7 degrees cooler. Without DPM, its back to 7.1.3 level. Did not try 7.1.1
I find the ssame as Vivialet. I slightly prefer 7.1.3 but 8.1 is very close and the fact it runs cooler is a + for me. I'm going to test the phase + and - and SAM on/off later this week.
