I/V stages, too right Charles, just as I said in my first post

But I/V stages are only used on current output dacs, as voltage output dacs don’t use them, I leave you now to ponder and do some homework which ones use I/V stages and which don’t.
And we are talking about Redbbook (pcm) and the best way to listen to it, there's no hijacking of the thread.
