Hiss / buzz , how to get rid of?

I don't find the hiss bothersome when playing records, the groove roar swamps it, and the phono stage itself sounds better than anything else I've heard.

I have a Dynavector P75 stage, it's quieter than the Devialet stage, it's good, but nothing like as precise sounding.

Was someone trying the active step up stage

I've picked up the Graham Slee Elevator.  Tried it last weekend and was very disappointed but I am sure I did not have it configured correctly. Going back to direct connect brought back the detail and precision that the Devialet phono stage is known for.  I am going to retry the Graham Slee and take my time to set it up correctly - will share when done sometime this week,

Did you get to a chance to recheck this?

yes I did - still not satisfactory.  I've not found any thing that beats/compares to direct connect in delivering detail. My very patient dealer has a Gold Note coming in that he wants me to try (which I'll will comment on when it becomes available unless someone else has already done so and can comment now and save me the effort).  

My speakers have a sensitivity of 85db which almosts demand an output of -15 to -5db to extract the most detail out of a recording (for my ears at my age).  This level exposes Devialet's hiss quite prominently. Once the needle is on the vinyl - this all goes away and the Devialet magic is back.  I'm almost at the point of just continue to put up with the hiss and enjoy the quality of music I get once the needle is tracking.
