You need 16 pre amp channels and 16 analog to digital channels to do that

There are products that bundle the two together.

Here is a 16 in/16 out analog/digital interface:

I think you'll have more options if you look for two 8-channel pre-amps rather than one 16-channel pre-amp:

Hope this helps,
