likewise here. anyone knows a suitable AD box that can
team up with coaxial digital in?

using the mixer as preamp probably isn't the best solution,
but it works ok so far and gives some flexibility. i'd like
to make use of the digital in though, two-channel AD is a
bit restricting (m-man audiophile 24/96).
