I have the same setup as you and had a D200 and went to a D400 and my experience is very similar to yours with one exception that I have heard over and over. . .on good quality recordings/mixing, from 44k to 192 FLAC files there is much more detail in the "quiet parts". I have listened to some pieces hundreds of time over the years and on the d200 and have never heard things I am hearing now. At first I would check to see if had selected a different version of the same recording, but no, just more richer detail.
This could be a result of the "harshness" as you put it being removed. Interestingly enough I haven't noticed this much on DSD recordings, only occasionally.
