Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Does a good output stage add much cost to a DAC?

"none of that [digital performance] matters as much as the quality of the DAC's analog stage.... and downstream components."

And you know this how? Of course it may be true for a given instance but I'd be loath to hang my hat on it!

Functionally the reconstruction stage and output buffer are also part of the DAC system even if implemented discretely. "Analog" is what comes out of that sub-system.
