Hello,
 
I just wanted to share this real quick. ADL brought out a new pre-amp that has a built-in phono preamp for MM/MC, combined USB input/output, and several other line and digital inputs, and of course a headphone output.
 
It supports DSD as well, pretty nifty. I think it's not out yet, just announced.
 
Check it out here:

I have been pretty happy with my ADL Esprit, which is now discontinued. If I would do it all over again, I'd be interested in the new stratus, although I don't know if its phono input could beat my beloved vintage Nakamichi CA-5 :)
 
Anyway, there may be some people looking exactly for something like this, hence this post.

Still doesn't seem to be much info out there on the Stratos... This is all I found so far:
