Video Asylum

I am looking for an AV preamp/processor that, in addition to the normal features, allows me to play a CD on my Rega transport through a digital coax input and RECORD the music onto a Nakamichi analog tape deck at the tape outs. Essentially, I need the prepro to convert the digital audio to analog audio at the tape outs because I want to use the DAC in the prepro as opposed to a DAC before the prepro. So far, I've investigated the following prepros and only the Proceed AVP seems to do this:
Classe SSP-30
Bryston SP 1/1.17
Cal Audio 2500
Aragon Soundstage/Stage1
Acurus ACT-3
Proceed AVP (yes!)

Does anyone know of any other AV prepro that converts D-to-A at the tape out?

Thanks
