to attribute SQ exclusively to opamps. It depends on how they are powered, bypassed and coupled, as well as how many in the audio chain.
The Oppo has coupling capacitors and this was a reason why I wouldn't buy one.
Remove the coupling caps in most ouptput stages and SQ changes very significantly for the better.

Please show me the schematic for any DAC that DOESN'T have a coupling capacitor in the output stage or simply explain how one passes AC while blocking DC without a coupling capacitor.
Come to think of it, how does a 2A3 direct coupled power amp with a direct (series) feed OPT prevent DC from getting to the speakers?
My quick and dirty answer to your question would be a DC blocking cap after the voltage amplifier, as opposed to a coupling cap between the dac chip and the V amp. Seems like a gyp though. Not like you asked me. :)
I just got a Schiit Yggy that's billed as direct coupled. Maybe I'll ask them about it when I send them an email about what I like and don't like about their dac.
Keep slinging that solder Palustris!

Sorry! That question wasn't aimed at you...
exclusively to dac chip and opamps, the same caveats apply.
...attribute SQ exclusively to opamps.
Who did that?

What the rest of us call the " analog output stage ." :)
Agree about coupling capacitors.
Still, a linear amplifying device is always a good thing.

Linear Stage - agree. It is also true that power supplies influence sonics a lot.
