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.
Yes I know and I am not happy with this of course. For every FW upgrade I have to crank the volume a bit more to get the levels I want. Or have I perhaps built up a hearing problem?
To bad Guillaume doesn't have time to sweep by my place this Saturday for our Raidho event here in Sweden to give me some kind of reference/witness!
Though I had an issue with the AES/EBU input on the Master (almost lost one channel and had enormous distortion in the same channel) and after reconfiguring the same level that I had at +15 dB is now at -5 to 0 dB. Perhaps problem solved?
