I didn't like the sound of 8.0 in my system - there was something strange about it and I found it unpleasant to listen to - I quickly went back to 7.1.3. In my system 8.1 is a big improvement over 8.0 SQ-wise (AIR Wi-Fi and coax).
On the other hand many have said that they like the sound of 8.0 in their systems
Devialet are pushing people to move from 8.0 to 8.1 for a reason - they don't want to have to waste resources supporting a buggy version of the firmware.
