I also upgraded my D800, first to 1000 Pro and later to 1000 Pro CI. Both times there has been a substantial improvement in sound quality (even my non-audiophile girlfriend noticed it right away…both times) and though I still don’t use any of the streaming features, just adding the CI board improved the sound quality significantly, I suspect due to an improved clock.
In my experience the source you use is very important in overall sound quality and I’m still very happy with my Aurender X100, but what makes that combo really excel is the Crystal Dreamline Plus USB cable I use!
In retrospect, to get a major improvement twice means that the devialet was probably the weakest link in my system….now I’m not so sure anymore :-)
