As a small update, I just re-mounted my D200 using the proper wall mount instead of a couple of screws, thanks to a very helpful Paul @ hifi lounge.
Having read a few posts I wasn't expecting much from the bracket itself - but i have to say I quite like its design. Apart from maybe the washers which seemed a bit under designed.
It was easy to put up and get straight, and I can now close the lid around the totaldac USB cable, which was my main objective (that box is far too big and heavy imo, and I sent that feedback to Vincent)
As a bonus the remote works perfectly again, I guess that extra gap makes all the difference. Also it's a LOT easier to plug everything in - it was really fiddly before.
Was it worth £160? Probably not really but it saved me faffing with bits of wood etc to do the same thing, and free time's not too abundant right now. I would have hoped for that money a few types of screws would have been included to cover most scenarios - but nothing. I didn't have flat heads so used countersunk but I'll always be thinking the washers are getting pinched so will probably swap them at some point.
Now I just need to make (or more likely have made) a same width/depth wooden cover down to the floor to hide all the cables and make the whole thing look like its a design piece. Magnetic catches so it can be easily removed for access, that's my plan anyway.
