The only real solution is a hardware preamp. You can apply
the RIAA filter in software, but unless you start with a
*very* clean digital signal it's not a good idea to do so.
Josh, if you decide to go the hardware route as Fons suggests, and
you're not afraid of a soldering iron, ESP Sound have what by all
accounts is an excellent phono preamp for moving-magnet pickups.
