The new dCS Grieg ADC could be a solution. It has two line inputs and one phono input. It can sample the analog input at any PCM sample/bit rate up to 24/192 or as DSD. The phono input takes a cartridge input directly down to 0.1mV output and does the RIAA equalization in the digital domain. Or you could consider the dCS 904 professional ADC which has only one line level input but samples at the same formats and rates as the consumer product.I've had the 904 and 954 pro DAC in my own system and the combination is amazingly close to pure analog. Actually virtually indistinquishable when sampling at 24/192 or DSD. If you have to go down to 24/96 to use with a digital room correction system it is slightly less analog sounding compared tot he original but nevertheless bettered by only the very top pure analog playback systems.
