It was a clear change in SQ in my setup. I listened well known tracks on 1.7 and right after the update to 1.8 without changing any settings. First impression is that the quality of sound has overly increased - better resolution, better 3d imaging and clarity. And what I noticed immediately - midrange was better pronounced. It would be great to get back to 1.7 for further comparison and more thorough observation through different settings but not sure if it is possible. Nevertheless, the 1.8 sounds better to me at a glance so I have no regrets.
