The NAD T751 allows true analog bypass. It's a bit more than $400, but I'm not aware of anything cheaper that allows you to bypass the ADC. It also sounds amazing for an all-in-one box. I recommend you wait till you can buy one.

A cheaper receiver will massacre your TT's sound. Unless you have a very good DAC, CD may sound better connected digitally to the NAD. Don't worry about the power rating. Those sixty watts per channel will make most 100W receivers sound pretty wimpy.
