Quick update on the burn in (5days 24/7). It's getting better from day to day. I'm feeling like my kids in the morning these days with the advent. What is there waiting for me behind the door of my listening room 
I'm puzzled. How can a small change of a signal path have this profound positive impact on the sound? I can't tell and I thought the sound was so good before?!
Sound improvements:
It's hard to put into words...expect the sound improving by every populare phrase as being cleaner/more transparent/mapping improved/more precision/control, you can hear louder/ etc. than before.
But what struck me most is the improvement of sheer realism the D200 is now (more) capable to present. Everybody knows that sound improvements wear out emotionally with time. Goosebumps getting rare...but here they are again.
And it is not the sound got softer/warmer (it is when it's meant to be) but instruments keep their edges so nicely it gives me those goosebumps within a second...Patricia Barber - Mythologies 'Orpheus/Sonnet' ...the e-guitar is so clean and crunchy it's a direct path to emotional reaction, Ottmar Liebert - One Guitar...he is a master of guitar and on this recording he plays at such speed and precision and the D200 now puts it all together so naturally - effortless is the right word here...
The D performs allmost like a 3D-Tetris-Game for sound patterns. It was likely HD before and is now 4k in resolution. Every sound seems to find it's place in space and time. Very special...eventually for me.
