I think the Tascam DA-3000 has "all of the above"

The only recent digital-input-only amp that I can think of is Peachtree's first attempt with their GaN 1. Any amp with only a digital input is extremely limiting as I'm sure the OP has figured out by now.
Aside from needing an A/D converter he will need a way to control the volume level without an App or computer unless his Phono Preamp has variable output.
-- Does the Tascam have a remote that will easily control Volume Level in realtime so the digital output isn't at a fixed level? I say 'realtime' because in normal use you wouldn't just set and forget the level as though you were recording. You'll want to adjust it on the fly as the music is playing.

  Remote? Yes. Volume? No

It's really a shame that TASCAM discontinued the DA-3000. I was looking at all the current TASCAM digital recorders and I couldn't find one with higher resolution than 24/96. I wonder what's going on!

  Higher than that is not necessary.

    I have fallen in love with DSD256 albums. I now own just over 400 of them and most sound better than PCM recordings, except for possibly ultra high resolution PCM such as DXD.
    
    I used to make digital recordings of my vinyl records, and when I upgraded my digital recorder to a TASCAM DA-3000 DSD128 recorder, I noticed a real improvement. Since then, I've been collecting DSD256 albums, and I really like the sound quality of DSD.
    
    Happy listening!
