Further to the above, I have posted elsewhere about my experiences trying a Tom Evans Groove phono stage with the Devialet. This is over 2K's worth of kit new, and in summary I much prefer the Devialet's phono input, it is quieter, more dynamic and just very pure. On top of this it is fully adjustable via the configurator, so you can use any cartridge you like. Considering the phono stage is included as an integral part of the Devialet package, it starts to make the Devialet look like a very good value option for the vinyl user.
Originally, I was actually put off by the thought of a digital phono stage, somehow "corrupting" the analogue world of vinyl, but as all the digital stuff is performed at 24bit, any unwanted digital effects are inaudible. So what you are left with is what is possibly one of the most accurate phono stages you can buy, with a nice shiny amplifier included in the deal.
