I must say I did buy the D-Premier partly because its MC phono stage was completely silent when I demoed it at home and was disappointed when the Pro update with its new board clearly, IMO, was a downgrade for MC phono. Mine still sounds good via the SUT and MM input though. I would have preferred the original phono stage (which I understand was a very expensive part of the D-Premier) but I don't listen to my old LPs enough for it to be a deal breaker!
I missed the HDMI input too for playing the TV through the stereo.
