AFAIK the input to the power stage in ADH is analog i.e. after the 'Magic Wire' DAC. The line in on an Expert amplifier goes through AD conversion for processing (volume control, tone.... etc) and then the 'Magic Wire' DAC.
What would make a separate ADH power amp difficult (or indeed impossible) is that I believe DSP is used to control many functions in the power supply (like DMP) so the DSP depends on the audio stream going through to make correct calculations. It would, as @thumb5 says, just be a cut-down Expert amplifier.
