If you do decide to go with a separate phono stage all you need for really great sound from a Dynevector 20X H is an MM level of gain.
I own one and use a Graham Amp 2 SE, and think it sounds fantastic. It is a dedicated MM stage but works really well with my HO MC cartridge. I wonder how much better the low output version could be given my satisfaction with my current albeit modest analog rig. It is just a VPI Scout with the regular JMW 9 arm and normal platter.
