I felt the surround channels timing made for a better blend with the fronts. M really made some nice tweaks on the DSP settings internally(non user settings). The sound stage is more focused with more air. Make sure you turn on upsampling on all DSP settings. M did not default everyone of them to high speed on. That way when listening to two channel PCM you can enjoy upsampling on all the DSP choices.

Glad it all worked out for you! Enjoy!
