I use an Ortofon T3000 transformer with my A90, and previously used it with a Jubilee and before that a MC3000 II. My system is to all intents and purposes silent into the MM input like that.
IMO whatever was done when the D-Premier was updated was a downgrade of the phono input. My D-Premier (and then dual monos when I bought a second) were silent on the MC input. I had them "upgraded" to 800 spec and noticed noise on phono so got out my trusty T3000 and changed to MM in the configurator which was then quiet.
I haven't tried the MC setting with my Original d'Atelier since I just connected straight away with the T3000 but don't listen to LPs much anyway, mainly CDs.
