Thats a smart way to judge micro-detail. I think I might have heard the same but I only trust my mind and ears with direct comparisons.
I do hope you get the chance to line up your 7.1 versus a 7 and share your direct A-B-A experiences for us. I wonder if that could be done at a meet with users noting their finding and the results pooled at the end of the day? I wish!

My Ref7 seemed to go through all sorts of weird phases as it bedded in and settled down. In the end it just got smoother and smoother. May I ask what amp and transducers your listening through?
The reason I feel there was improvement in micro-detail is because I have certain tracks that I am intimately familiar with and have listened to countless times on every DAC I've owned. Certain tiny details have been revealed more with each DAC upgrade that I didn't notice previously.

it's taking on certain characteristics of Sigma-Delta DACs, and losing certain characteristics of R-2R; I say that because cymbals sound slightly splashier, but pianos have slightly less natural timbre; I hope these traits reverse as more days and weeks are put on the 7.1.
