Certainly the phonostage was downgraded when the update from D-Premier was introduced, as well as losing the HDMI input. My original D-Premier was completely silent using my Ortofon Jubilee but I found it was better with the Ortofon T3000 step up transformer, which I hadn't used for years, once I had my units updated from two D-Premiers to a 800. I was pretty disappointed since I used the HDMI for tv sound too so the update was a downgrade for me (there is no SAM profile for my speakers and SAM is the only gain from the update IMO)
OTOH I don't play LPs very often, and I did have the SUT so just a minor irritation.
I felt the D-Premier phonos stage was preferable to my Goldmund PH2 but I haven't repeated the comparison with the 800 or O d'A.
