Spies? Tell us more about 8.1 and when will it be here!?

I believe they are planning to release something in the middle of June.

Yes, mid June is what I have heard also. Although per Devialets normal form, maybe September or something.

for me in my system 7.1.3 hands down is the best in terms of SQ. my system never sounded this good! everything is relaxed and controlled. it is poised when poise is needed and dynamic when swings are needed. tones are balanced and highs and lows are detailed and clear. I just love it!
I believe i will keep it for long time until either i am forced to upgrade or when the newer FW start to sound as good.

I feel much the same way, I could almost have written the same post. For me, 7.1.3 sounds smoother, more detailed, with better control, which is a neat trick. Forgetting all the subjective stuff, I find myself simply enjoying the music.
But I haven't tried 8.1 or 8.1.2 yet, after abandoning the problematic 8.0. Part of me doesn't want to bother trying 8.1.2 because I'm enjoying 7.1.3 so much. However, this weekend in about the only time I'll have enough free time to try properly for a while, so we shall see.....

While the temptation is high to try 8.1.2 but I don't wanna disturb this state of zen my system is currently in 
If it is working fine and sounding awesome I don't wanna tamper with it you know. I'm afraid something funny may happen and I end up regretting it.
Do I make sense?
