D200 Mod 2.0.1

[yabaVR]

Thank you for the update and not taking offense at my asking! Additionally I'm curious since you've mentioned warranty is easily re-established by reinstalling original/OEM parts? Reason I ask is this obviously differs dramatically from machine-soldered circuit boards/risers etc and I'm unsure of exactly how casual/cavalier Devialet is regarding inspection of such things during conversion/warranty work... especially if it JUMPS out at them! Thanks for your advice on this.

Hi Manoet,
don't take my picture as a template when you're looking at the long pin connector for the binding posts. I've described in the text how to do this mod and reverse it to original if needed (e.g. sending the D back to Devialet). It's just the 3(4) soldering joints (at the 2×10 socket) one has to desolder, put back the riserboard and original binding posts and Devialet will never know. But I admit you have to be good/precise in soldering these 3(4) small joints at the 2×10 connector socket. Don't burn the socket while soldering.

EDIT:
I shut off the D200 over night to listen to it performing out of the cold...and I hear that the sound is staying right there where it got over the last 13 days while it was running 24/7.
This are good news for everybody experiencing that their D is sounding better the more days it is continually switched on. The pin connectors seem to 'work' as heat/potential charges are spreaded and even out continually insided the D thus resulting in sound changing over days.
