The only difference in the two FW versions is in the human interface.That's interesting. I have to smugly admit I haven't detected any sound quality differences. Without reading the whole thread back I don't think many (or any?) others have noted any differences either?
I am very surprised on this particular point. Maybe it is true with SAM Off, but I reported to Devialet a bug on 8.0.0 with SAM and my speakers and had been testing a 8.0.1 beta version about two weeks fore the release of the official 8.0.1.
The type of bug (which was the low bass rumble and kind of breathing effect) cannot be explained only by a bad reading and mis-parametrisation of the SAM algorithm, so I am very convinced that, at least with SAM on (I don't know for SAM off) the audio processing has been changed between 8.0.0 and 8.1.0.
