Dear Peter,
for MM cartridges, I would personally stay with the Devialet's phono input.
For MC systems, such as your Hana ML, an external solution is much better in terms of sound, because the MC input is simply too noisy.
And your Cyrus Signature plays at a much higher level, especially with the SX power supply - in my opinion, you are taking a noticeable step backwards with the MC input of the Devialet.
I myself have been using an external phono (AudioSpecials Phonolab) with my D440 for many years and am very satisfied with the solution (despite additional AD conversion in the Devialet).
atb, Tom
