I remain a little unconvinced on 8.0.
Some of the magic of 7.1.3 seems lost. That's about as much as I can say. The tonal balance might have shifted a bit so the treble is a little more emphasised.
I've tried deactivating DPM and it seems to improve things in a subtle way but it still ain't 7.1.3.
Going to stick with it for a while and experiment reverting back to 7.1.3 once I am used to the new sound. DSD sounded very nice though.
