Well I did listen to a few decks over the past few months and finally went for a Project Xtension 10. The sound is the polar opposite from the Roksan: utterly stable speed, dark background, fine detail and huge bass. Not a fair comparison in all respects I know because the Ortofon is a vastly better cartridge than I was using before. I have been fiddling around with the loading and output settings on the D200 which is very easy. I do not totally agree with the Devialet default settings for the Ortofon.
In answer to my original question, I think you could probably use a very esoteric deck and cartridge with the D200, certainly the Xtension is now bettering all the other digital inputs I can muster.
