I'm using a RME HDSPe AIO + ADA8000, you can get this for less money.
There should be a way to bypass the pre-amps

I suspect Fons blacklisted me, but I'm sure you'll get the information.
ART tube mic preamps should be low cost, but very good.

No "build-in" solution, but perhaps ok and not expensive.
