I will take my amp to the dealer and try to connect it to a turntable with MC cartridge and see how that goes.
I'm not knowledgeable about vinyl at all, esp with the Devialet as I just hooked up my turntable last week. However, I also have a D120 and I'm using a Nagoka MP 11 Boron MM cartridge (which is quite old). The D120 does indeed have fewer options in the phono settings, but I don't think it is of lower quality than in other models.
I'm only offering my brief experience: I listened to the same songs on vinyl and streaming, and I did not find the sound any duller on vinyl than on the streamed version, either from ripped CD's or from streaming services. Different, yes, but I'm sure a new cartridge would improve the TT sound. Even with the old duffer of a cartridge, I thought the sound quality with the built-in phono was very pleasing.

Thank you all for the replys! Today I found out the cause of my problem. The Phono board on my Devialet is broken :-( So while waiting for the new board to arrive I will be playing with the Clear Audio nano phono stage I borrowed. It sounds just wonderful:-)

Ah, that sounds like a good explanation! Hope you get it fixed quickly and all is well thereafter.
