Interesting reading. Its a real shame that Wima stopped their MKS2 range with the 5mm lead spacing as these were tiny compared to most. I have a few sets of 22uF 16v that I've used specifically for DC blocking on outputs. I used 1 set on my SB3 before I went transport only. In the Touch, I've removed the said elco's and bridged the pads as I've been playing to see how good the stock DAC can sound with a few tweeks as well as running it through an external DAC.
The concept of applying DC to bias the caps is interesting. I would assume that you would need 2 sets of caps with the DC applied between the 2 sets? This assumption is based on the fact that you wouldn't want to inject DC to the DAC and the same would apply to the amp inputs. The caps are polarised and so would need be set positive to the supply (assuming a positive voltage is applied). What about and DC blocking caps on the amp input. In theory if they are polorised the oposite way to those in the touch, you already have 2 sets of caps? Just thinking out loud!
