So I think that you are saying 8.15 is approximately the same as 8.12, but as 8.16 > 8.15, I conclude 8.16 is better than 8.12?
yes, in my opinion 8.16 normal is the better of the recent normal bunch and, you're correct, 8.12 is my second choice, 8.15 is very good as well, 8.14 stays behind.
I need more listening with different material, I changed my preamplifier a couple of days ago because Aikido needs some maintenance, so I built a B1 that has a quite different sound of that I'm not completely accustomed to yet, but I think 8.16 is the winner at this moment.

Here's a simple equation:
MQn-Player/WinServer12/AudioOptimizer 1.26-> Audioquest Diamond USB -> AR-T Legato II -> AMR DP-777 -> MEG 901K

just installed win 10 preview and can confirm am running without amanero drivers, so usb 2.00 is native. Sounds pretty good, different, think it's better, though that may change.

more a statement than an equation, xx means 8.09 is better than 8.00, 8.11, 8.22 etc. I didn't get where I am today by not being a pedant.
8.09>8.nn, nn !=09

amanero seem strident compared to native, mmcss service seems to have disappeared in win 10, preview at least.
