For me the 200 is the best bit of kit I have ever owned. The step up to the 200 from my Musical Fidelity m6 amp was the biggest increase in SQ I have ever experiment. However it is very detailed and possibly a little brightness is the price we pay for that ?
Generally, I think the D200 has an exceptionally neutral sound but I have found that recent (7.1.3 and 8.1+) versions of firmware are brighter in my system than earlier versions. I have now gone back to 8.1.1 because I found 8.1.3 too bright... That's using Qobuz or iTunes/AIR; with a less bright source e.g. Aurender I think there would be less of a problem.
