Picking up on Antoine's point above. I was listening to all sorts of music over the weekend (including 80's fare) and was quite simply enjoying everything I tried. OK, as ever some recording were clearly better than others, but even the 'bad' ones were still enjoyable to listen to. Even trying the tracks suggested by Antoine because they highlighted various recording deficiencies, and this by Spotify /AIR, I was still enjoying the music. Also, as one who does not believe in 'burn in', I am sure the Pro is sounding smoother now than when I first had it. Maybe it is burn in, maybe it is more psychological, I will never know, not that it really matters now as I am enjoying the Pro so much. When I auditioned a D800 vs a 1000 Pro back to back, I did not notice one iota of difference in treble prominence, harshness, roll off, bias, level, nothing whatsoever. The only difference was in detail and resolution. This is exactly how I see my own Pro now that it has had a decent few hours use on it.
In addition, the results of the 'Do you like the sound quality of the Expert Pro upgrade' poll, do look very convincing.
