I regretted converting my 2 D-Premiers to 800s FWIW.
The phono stage got noisier, I lost the HDMI input and the sound quality was the same.
The gains were more power, which I am not sure I needed, and the ability in DSP to use SAM and my speakers don't have a profile for SAM so no gain for me.
Based on my careful evaluation I would not expect a change in sound unless you are running at very high power levels.
Others will have different advice I am sure!
