This might be caused by different firmwares on both machines as well. Every newer firmware sounded a bit brighter to my ears.
If the 800 has a newer firmware you might wanna try some of the older firmwares. 7.1.3 and the early 8.x.x ones were always a bit smoother then the new ones.
Devialet Expert 200 (FW 7.1.3) / Magnepan 1.7i / Rel T5 / Foobar (WASAPI event 24bit) / AIR 3.0.1 public beta (best Air 3.x.x SQ by far)
