Interesting read. Was wondering the same thing.
I had a D200 here today to listen to, and must admit that I didn't have the right digital cable to connect my Linn Akurate DS/1 to the D200 and so had to use analog RCA. I must say I was a bit underwelmed in comparison of the D200 with digital out of a Naim NDX and my first impression of the D200 at my dealers'.
In that light I was just wondering, Guillaume, what's the reason the Linn's digital output mode should be set at fixed 88/96khz and not use the RAW or fixed 176/192khz mode option.
I will be trying to find an adapter to connect my digital cable to the Akurate as soon as possible to be able to audition the D200 at it's best. If that still doesn't bring the magic I was expecting, I might try a D250 too.
