You know what, I did look into that recently and found some Digidesign "PRE" preamps at my work which are stepped gain and individual channels are groupable, hence their gain can be controlled with a single knob. Most of the preamp parameters are remote controllable via midi, so a simple Pd gui might do it. Only drawback: No Adat, so you'd need a converter still, or use a Multiface or similar thing. Found this to be a nice alternative to the Soundfield preamp (which is not even portable given its mains power supply) as we already had those preamps in-house. (This is hopefully the only recommendation i will ever give in favor of Digidesign products though) let me/us know how your search went.
