Mike,
By nature, a pre-amp would generally not include a digital input. Typically a pre-amp is an analog device and a digital input would indicate that you need a DAC inside the pre-amp.
There are some all digital preamps that have digital inputs, but convert the analog sources to digital before "processing" them. There are also several pre-amp/DAC combinations on the market.
I've used the Monarchy Model 33 DAC/pre-amp and thought it was excellent at the $400 used price I paid for it.
You will increase your choices if you simply buy the pre-amp you want and buy a an external DAC to provide the digital input you require. The output of the DAC would be connected to your analog pre-amp, therefore the "pre-amp" would not need a digital input.
Enjoy,
