Devialet Arch accepts MC cartridges - benoit - 04-Feb-2021
Have been waiting for quite some time for an interface between my MC cartridge equipped turntable and my Phantoms. After reading the very short spec sheet on Devialet’s site I called them to ask about MC compatibility and they confirmed it was there. Anybody here have a screenshot of the interface on the app regarding cartridge type selection or is automatic like I was told ?

Thank you for the screenshot. I just checked the output from my Denon DL-103 and it is 0,3 mV. Do you guys think it will be good enough? Probably going to order it anyways to find out

Probably going to order it anyways to find outI'm more worried about the lack of impedance loading adjustment. I just read that in the expert series 120 and 140, loading is locked to 47k ohms where my cartridge wants 100 ohms! The arch may work differently but I feel its a bit bass shy in my setup so far and the loading may be the cause.
I think the 0.3mv will be fine just the volume will have to be higher than other sources.

A 100 ohm loading resistor for each channel would do the trick. I believe there are RCA adapters available for this.
RE: Devialet Arch and PLC - davidadamson - 10-Feb-2021
Hello
Anyone for anyone using Arch, after trial and error I found that setting PLC as primary mode and very important have Arch and Phantoms on same powerline I use an audiophile power strip with only Phantoms and Arch.
Now it sounds superb playing from a Linn Sondek.
Before I did this Arch would default to WiFi and was very glitch prone. Have fun
