Digital Inputs on McCormack Preamps?

Do any of the McCormack preamps have digital coax or optical inputs? If not, does anyone know why this is?

Also, I'm debating between a used RLD-1 and a TLC-1 with the platinum revision to mate with my DNA .5 Rev A amp. Primary listening is rock (both light rock and hard rock, but not "pop"), though I listen to a fair amount of classical and jazz. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the input!

Hmmm...although I love McCormack's gear, I think I'd feel more comfortable with a preamp with digital inputs.

All: Any recommendations in the $1k-$1500 (used) range?

well, some of the research I've done suggests just what you guys said - keep the analog pre and add a DAC.

So back to the original question: RLD-1 stock or TLC-1 modded by Steve McCormack? Anyone?

Thanks for the guidance on the DAC's. :)
