For the moment, no direct cables comparison, but as I really loved the demo D200/BW805d with Athom ZEF mini, I went with the same combo but with Athom ZEF MAX cables.
The system is slowly breaking in, 5 weeks, close to 100 hours I think, and I feel high frequencies sometimes too present, harsh on some records but it's improving. I feel a high SAM % has a negative impact on hf, emphasing harshness, I hope it's not cable relative....
On some records it's already magic ! (fw 8.1.2)
I'm surprised with the good bass presence (compared to the size of the 805d) and the voices witchery.... Sorry, English is not my mother tongue
What I would like to say also is I can't resist switching on the D200 when I'm home !
