There have been some encouraging reports and one early review to suggest that the Pro phono stage is indeed very quiet. Anyway, I have just tried the phono stage in my nice new Pro and unfortunately, the hiss level appears to be more or less the same as my 'old' D800. This is a little disappointing. To early to say if the phono stage is any better in other respects.
What pickup are you using.
If I was looking for a new MC pickup what output seems to be the best match with Devialet regarding the "hiss" problem.
As Soniclife said, the higher the output, the better. Anything over 0.5 mV will sound less "hissy" than lesser output cartridges.
