I have noticed this with 7.1.1, but only at crazy volumes, but this was in no way an issue in normal use. I'll be annoyed if this is more apparent with 8.1, time will tell once I give 8.1 a try.
I had none of this with the 7.1.3 not even at crazy volumes (+15 dB on some material in my system). Mind you my Raidhos are both tricky in impedance as have low efficiency.

Wow! +15dB will certainly be clipping on pretty well all digital recordings, and with modern pop records clipping all the time.
I do not think it reasonable to judge sound quality on any equipment when overloaded like that.
