I just wish I could have this (and stay with SAM1), but with the new features of 8, like DSD.
To my ears, each version since just seems a bit more 'aggressive' for want of s better word - despite seeming a bit more exciting at first. Be it technically right or wrong, bass just seems better was v7 and SAM1 too - maybe it's just the profile for my speakers who knows.
Anyway, will be sticking here for a bit, living without DSD ad new display is a very small price to pay for the sound I had when I bought the unit.
My thoughts exactly.
My resident firmware has been 7.1.1. for more than a year; its´a pity it does not work with DSD...
