Phono Preamp with Optical/Coaxial Output

I am looking for a phono preamp to connect directly to my DAC. If I do this then I can use my existing preamp (Campbridge Audio Azur 851N). Otherwise, I will need to buy a new preamp. I’ve been Googling and can’t seem to find anything. I did find this (http://www.psaudio.com/products/nuwave-phono-converter/#tab-rear-panel) by PS Audio but it’s more than I want to pay. I would want it under $500. Thanks.

EDIT:  Maybe I could use a Sprout?

Please don't do this.  It kinda defeats the point if you digitize your LPs.  

Is the issue that you're out of analog inputs on your preamp?  If so, fumble with switching cables.  Or is the issue that you don't want to buy a traditional phono preamp to connect to your Azur?

You're welcome.  You could always get a phono pre with a volume control and switch between the Azur and the phono pre.   Kind of a pain but it lets you keep your goods in the same place...

When you go DAC shopping, make sure to listen to the Ayre Codex!!!
