Your guessing right. A Behringer ADA8000 won't fit for the Delta 1010LT.
But you could connect any piece of gear that provides a 2-channel digital output
via S/PDIF
to the co-ax inputs on the Delta.

There are a few Mic Pre's or Mono/Stereo Channel strips equipped with a digital
output
or an option to buy an additional dig. out expansion.

No, your straight forward. :D
Myself I have a 1010LT as well, and I hooked a Behringer 2442FX-Pro mixer to it.
The way I do it, is I connect the 'SUBGROUPS' 3 & 4 to the XLR inputs of
the 1010LT, as this gives me a balanced connection. The rest of the I/O's are
unbalanced,
so I hooked the 'Direct Out' of the first 6 mixer channels to the other inputs
of the Delta,
for 6 Mono instruments or any combination of Mono/Stereo (through paired inputs)
plus a
Stereo stream through the Sub 3/4, where I could send any additional instruments
as well if
I need more than 6 Inputs on the mixer. This gives me 8 tracks to record to (or
4 stereo)
Hope, this gives you some more ideas.
