Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this, but I have to say using the SUT with the Devialet has been a revelation. I'm now getting normal (even loud) listening levels at -15db on the D400s, no hiss and no hum (previously it was heading to -5 or above and I suspect that was partly why the hiss came). Sound is fantastic, better than my PC running Room through USB! It mirrors Frank's comments earlier in this thread of his experience with an SUT.
Perhaps my original cartridge was just too challenging for the MC stage, but either way this has been a big step forward for me and vinyl replay with the Devialet.
YMMV, but if you are having the issues I had, try to see if you can borrow an SUT from a dealer!
