What source inputs do you need (USB, optical, etc.)?
What speakers are you driving?
D-Premier owners can inform you better, but my understanding is that the 200 has more inputs (USB and Ethernet) while the D-Premier has better power, case (thermal mangement), etc. As I understand it there used to be two upgrades for the D-Premier: one just the input boards and one the power supply and other things but given the price of upgrades I'd plan to stick with the D-Premier as they are or buy the 200/400. If you need USB or ethernet then get the D200/D400. If you don't and won't need USB or Ethernet and have speakers that would benefit from the added power and quality of the dual-mono D-Premier then I would be very tempted by that pair.
