Fred,
Perhaps Lyndorf's DPA-1 will do the trick for you,or the RP-1 which I think will spawn a digital version in the future. I have spoken to Peter Lyngdorf and this man has some nice insights. He says the inputs and outputs he uses are practically non sensitive to cabling so this suits your tastes too I think. The system I described earlier was wired with about a 100 dollars worth of cabling.
