I trust you but I never noticed such a huge difference between the DMR and the 5D or the M8. But I never did any real test neither.

Pascal,
You know, I didn't notice it right at first either, but weddings have a way of making you push the cameras into their "bad place" very quickly
And then many people started to complain about how they couldn't get upper midtone detail with their 1d2 / 1ds2 (some even went back to the 1ds), but by then I'd realized that you really need to compress the Mark 2 files with the appropriate curve to get those details back and to get to a printable file.
So it took me a long time to get a excellent processing regimen for the 1ds2 and 1d2, but they deliver the latitude amazingly well. To my eyes, even the 5d--which I really like as a camera--isn't quite as good in the shadows as those two.
In other words, at least with my 5d, it hits the noise floor quicker than the others, and I've compared them all with Leica 50 Summilux / Summicron R glass.
But the 5d is easier to process too than the others too...
As Guy always says, the DMR files "sing" right out of C1--and they do--given you nail the exposure.
The M8 sings too, but it seems to have some super range
Ronald--yes--time to clean the sensor already!!
