Is Pure Music 1.8 better?

I just installed it on my Mac, having been using PM 1.74. This is the biggest jump yet. It will also play integer mod, but not on my Weiss Dac202.

That really doesn't bother me much. what I have noticed however is that poor recordings are now even worse!!

I tried the integer playback with my Wavelength Cosecant and much prefer it using the less is more interface. With the Cosecant the integer playback tipped up the tonal balance and seemed to take some of the body and immediacy away. This was the opposite of what I expected would happen. Very pleased though with the upgrade.
