You have excellent advice so far.

I have not used the DAV, but I know the HV-3 intimately. I would suggest this route over any "channel" that includes EQ & limiting. You need to record piano cleanly without peaks in ProTools, so a good, clean pre is what you want, be it HV-3 or DAV, you don't really want anything more than that, and you want to record your piano so that you never, EVER hit the red in ProTools.
