Mark Levinson 380S connectivity -Help

I have been looking at this peice for a tad and cannot find anywhere that is will accept 110ohm digital AES/BEU such as the one that I would use to connect my Proceed PMDT, I looked at the back and it just says balanced inputs and RCA.
I assume this Levinson peice does do digital, even the owners manual I downloaded does not even mention connection of a digital component.

My question, can I connect the digital only PMDT via coax or AES/BEU, I prefer the latter ...AES/BEU

the 380S is a preamp and it does not have a digital input

380s is an analog preamp. If you want an outboard dac, try the 360 or 360s. They will have the AES/EBU inputs.

oh crap, so I would need a ML 360 for digital, ok, here is a twist, with the 360 and 380, you now have a great 2 chn system that is ready. The 380 has a line level input to add a Surround processor, I think they call it SSP, the L/R of my Lexicon MC1 would feed the 380 for surround effects. Could all three work in harmony ? Has it been done ?

MC1 for Surround
360S for Digital inputs
380S for Pre-amp

thanks ....Matt
