8.0 is very similar to 7.1.3, overall it's a big improvement on 7.1.1 in my setup.
I still think I prefer 7.1.3 but I can easily live with 8.0
Once again I'm finding DSD sounds especially good but I need to get my hands on a bit more material, shame it's so expensive... go figure!
Given that MAT converts DSD to 40bit/384kHZ PCM, surely DXD can't be too far away?

Thank you Guillaume. I briefely tried 8, but with DPM on. I thought the 'magic' of 7.1.3 was gone. If 8 with DPM off is like 7.1.3 I will try once more. With DPM on I found 8 to sound more like 7.1.1. Lacking the drama and dimensionality of 7.1.3.
