Unfortunately, I'm not sure such a thing exists - and like a lot of gear, the names that get marketed are confusing. We see "interfaces' that are actually preamp->A/D->computer interface all bundled. Some let you bypass the preamps, and a few (very few) let you bypass the A/D. But I don't know of any that are pure digital interface to the computer. Might be such a thing, but I don't know of one, and a quick search just now didn't turn anything up. The market is pushing "all-in-one" solutions these days, not component parts.
The unit I used to use is an RME HDSP, which included both digital and analog inputs. So no preamps, at least, but still had A/D onboard. I just skipped that and ran my external A/D converter at the time (Cranesong HEDD) into the digital inputs, letting the RME A/D go to waste. So I had what (I think) you're describing: My preamp's (Great River) analog out to my A/D (Cransong HEDD) to the digital inputs of the RME card.

Hi Doug, Yes I mentioned I use a UA 2192 Converter,....... "Kev, exactly! I dont need the extra pre’s. The Profire 610 was/is a great interface because it has spdif, balanced ins and outs. My UA2192 has AES ins/outs, balanced ins/outs, ADAT ins/outs."
