The only real solution is a hardware preamp. You can apply the RIAA filter in software, but unless you start with a *very* clean digital signal it's not a good idea to do so. Neither a mic input, a line input or a high-Z instrument input has the right combination of impedance and sensitivity for a phono cartridge. Not using the right impedance will mean the EQ will be wrong. I do have an RIAA ladpsa plugin, let me known if you want it. *If* you want to try without a real phono preamp the only input type that *could* work is a high-Z instrument input, with a 47k resistor in parallel. But the noise level could be below par.
