If I find some time, may be I will try 7.1.1
Hi - I may have missed it on the way by, but can someone point me in the direction of a copy of the 8.1.3 Beta software? I'm on the 8.1.3 standard release, and would agree with some of the other comments surrounding the top end being a little bright.

From my recent experiments, the beta won't cure the top end brightness if you're finding that in the non-beta, but everyone's experience is different. To be fair I wasn't really looking for differences between the two - it was more 'them' vs 7.1.1 - but nothing stuck out as very different to my ears.
Only about an hour in, and it may be the placebo effect, but the 8.1.3 beta feels a little more relaxed at the top end as opposed to the official 8.1.3 release. I think I'll run with it for a while, and then drop to 7.1.3 for further comparison.
I also went for the beta version last night. Have been listening to it all day and I also feel that it is a bit more relaxed in the top but as you say it can be placebo
