Well your Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage are exceptional speakers, possibly the best Guarneris ever made. And I bet they sound rather special with the 200.
I think that unless you are making direct comparisons with other transports/streamers then you're not necessarily going to hear any deficiencies as such unless of course there is something wrong/broken in your setup... for e.g. for ages I thought the MiND 180 was perfect, until I heard some of the other options out there!
I actually still think the MiND is fantastic but it's only after hearing what is possible with say the totaldac that I think hmmm, ok, it's missing this and this.... There's nothing wrong with being happy with what you've got and just focussing on enjoying good tunes. It's too easy to become obsessed with the latest tweak and forget about actually enjoying the music... I should know!
