If you don't mind tranformerless inputs and are willing to undertake a bit of a DIY project -- mounting in a box and building your own power supply, in my opinion it is difficult to beat the Benchmark Media MP-3 Jack-Mounted Preamp.  Excellent performance at about $100/channel.  See http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/micpre/mp3/lma.asp
