New firmware 8.1.3

[Hifi_swlon]

Gave 8.1.3 another shot today (well, I'd tried 8.1.3beta previously), and to my surprise I quite like it.

Perhaps I had an off day before, or am having a good day today - whatever factors are involved there - but it seems somehow more 'relaxed' to listen to (via Roon USB), and the treble seems less 'thin'.  of course this could all be human fdacotrs, or maybe I changed a config differently before - this time I only have a single input active, DPM disabled (as before) and the rest pretty much defaults except the power saving durations made a bit longer.

I do sense there's a lack of thump to the bass still, but I'm finding I prefer to dial in more bass (maybe +4 +6) and keep the treble at zero, whereas for the moths I've had the D200 and primarily on a 7.1.x, I was adding only a slight bass (maybe +2 max), and dialling the treble down a fair bit (-2 to -6).

Are people generally finding a slightly lowered bass with the 8.1.X series?  Is it SAM v2 or just a general thing, or just me perhaps?

Will keep listening for a few days then go back, hopefully that will clear up whether its mainly been human factors or not the last time round.  

I'm still very unsure of what's going on 'Le Configurator' wise when making profiles for 7.1.1 - it might have to be a support email.
