Finally, I would think that a phono preamp that output digital would defeat the purpose of having vinyl capability in the first place: the increased resolution of a fully analog sound stream.
My assumption (never really read the marketing stuff) was that it was designed to allow the EQ to be done with great precision in the digital domain, but that's my speculation. Also, I can think of other reasons for vinyl capability; listening to a large existing music collection would be near the top of that list I'd think.
As for increased resolution, analog is one thing (high speed tape, etc.), but vinyl is doing pretty good to muster the equivelent of 12 bits of resolution on a good day.
