You're heading for the trap that I've been avoiding - more pieces to
string together for doing on-location recording. This should be
getting simpler, not more complicated.

If you like the Grace preamp that you have now, perhaps you should
give some thought to trading it off for a V3, which has a built-in A/D
converter. Its S/PDIF RCA output will mate with your DA-P1, and it
will be useful into the next generation when your DA-P1 dies and you
can't get it repaired. Carrying, setup, and haywire will be no more
complex than what you have now, and you'll be improving the audio
quality of your system.

Is the Grace converter "as good sound quality as" [your favorite
product here]? Who knows? But I haven't heard any complaints.
