[LAU] [OT] looking for 8ch preamp with a/d and calibrated (or even digitally controlled) gains

hi everyone! i'm shopping for a new 8-way mike preamp with calibrated and steppered (or digitally controlled) gains (to allow for precisely gain-aligned soundfield recordings). it should include an a/d converter to adat. specifically, it should be low-noise and must have a very robust phantom power section that can take 8 schoeps or other misbehaved phantom current guzzlers without stress symptoms. gain of no less than 60dB would be nice. can anyone recommend anything in the <2k price range? ultimately, i'd want one of those micstasies with a madiface to go with it, but first i need something more affordable to earn some cash with :) i don't much care for input impedance wizardry, i like my mike ins hi-Z, thank you very much - if i don't want that bright treble, i'll filter it later... :) your recommendations are appreciated! best, jörn
