AH-A100 and AH-D1100 are the same except............

[astroid]

The wood, the pads have the same ref number and the cables are the same.
The source was Charles Hyde and sons (denon official spares supplier).
£400 is a big mark up for some wooden shells!

Interesting, woody cans are generally more expensive.

i knew it. trying to suck money from consumers for a piece of wood. shame on them

And aren't the D5000's essentially D2000 with wood cups?
 
To be fair, the A100 sounds different than the D1100, but same type of sound sig to be sure.

Heaphone > sum of parts. You don't expect to get a drastically different more pimped up driver just cos you pay more.

I believe A100 are limited edition, hence the high price tag.

I cannot believe that A100 has the same driver as D1100.
I have the A100 since yesterday and they sound beautiful, not such a driver from a LowFi headphone. But I never heared the D1100 and believe they sound so detail.
