Pair number two arrived in 24 hours from the moment I did the order.
4 different boxes were opened to check for quality.
All of them had tiny wood blemishes. I chose the one with the least prevalent ones.
I understand wood cups are not perfect but this one does not have impact damage.

DAC: Topping D50s
AMP : Topping A50
PSU : P50
30 minutes listening (still burning them in) comparison with Denon D2000 ML mods :
1. Bass :
Denon D2000 ML hits those Daft Punk mixes in a very woofer like manner covering some of the accompanying instruments but making your head thump and wanting more volume while you reminisce of the good old days.
Denon D9200 has yet to unleash the bass and sub bass potential but Daft Punk hits hard with a twist : superior quality. Less grunt than the D2000 but precision and impact cannot be compared. The low frequencies are on a new level and you have a similar sound reproduction like on my Focal Arias where the each speaker does its job without bothering the other.
Mids and treble?
No comparison between the two. The 9200 cannot be compared with the D2000 in this regard.
