After listening to 8.1.3 for the last 2 days. My initial thinking is that on PCM files, it is still not as relaxed as 7.1.3. On DSD there seems to be an improvement over 8.1.2. Line-in and phono also seem improved with less traces of edginess. I also feel there may be a slight but not distractive increase in the high. I will just play music for a while before critical comparison again.
