Is it possible? A good solution?

It's not stupid, but it does raise the question "WHY?"

If you're going to go this route, then go all the way. Dump the traditional phono preamp and have your RIAA EQ done in the digital domain. I know Pure Vinyl offers setups like that, but maybe others do too.

Personally, I think you would get better results by getting a Manley Steelhead (a phono preamp w/ analog preamp functions) and running a high quality DAC thru that. Alternatively, a traditional phono preamp and the new NAD integrated DAC/power amp would work.

I would bet that keeping the signal all analogue will sound much better than anything else.
You can get a DAC/Pre-amp with analogue inputs. That would be best, Peachtree?

The reason is I am aiming to get a high quality dac like weiss dac202 and it contains pre amp function. Everyone is saying CAS is the way to go! :-) With the dac202, I am thinking maybe I can get rid of my existing pre-amp (nagra p-lp). But I have a turntable and I am not gonna get rid of it. So i needa do something about it and thinking a phono and an ADC might be the solution in this scenario.

Based on the suggestions from Onhwy61 and Elevick, it sounds like this idea will only make the whole setup more complicated..and possibly not have a satisfactory result.

The idea sounds interesting enough that it just might work under proper circumstances. I'm just wondering, though, if you might get the worst of both worlds (ie, record noise + digital glare).

I do something like this to digitize my record collection. Tape out from preamp to a/d to computer. Iisten back and hear excellent tunes. No worst of both worlds IMHO.
