Gryphon Daiblo 300 owners with dac and phono module


Im a new owner of a Gryphon Daiblo 300 with phono module and consider buying the dac. I like the sound of the phono module in the Diablo 300 and wonder if the dac module sounds like the phono module? 

Today i use my old preamp Mcintoch C53 in passthru just for the dac. And when i compare C53 dac and gryphon phono module the phono module sound mutch better and have way more bass. When i use the dac in c53 there is almost no bass. Does the Diablo 300 dac module have the same bass and weight as the phono module?

I use the Diablo DAC module in my 300.  I also have the phono module but have never used it since I have a stand alone phono pre that can handle my three tonearms.  The DAC module performs well.  I compared it to a couple of external DACs (Ayre QX5/20, Weiss 501 and Weiss 204) and decided to continue with it as my primary digital player. I feed it by USB from a Wolf Audio Alpha 3SX server.
