For the more budget oriented who already have a decent Phono Preamp this one might be of interest.

True, no RCA but analog line input via 1/8” (3.5mm) cable. I have not tested it, but my understanding is that the Super DAC could convert this signal to the optical out S/PDIF. Maybe someone has already tried?

You could use what i use.
Musical Fidelity M1-SDAC. It's a digital preamp/ Dac. It has phono analog inputs and also crucially an optical digital output which you can feed straight into the Phantom. You still have to use Spark for volume or buy the Phantom remote.
P. S. Don't confuse this with the similarly named M1-DAC.
