The analog signal is DC coupled directly from the digital-to-analog converter's output to the signal output jacks.

If the analog section weren't DC coupled, a very large capacitor (>3000 microFarads) would be required in order to maintain phase accuracy for the lowest frequencies.  Such capacitors would be prohibitively expensive (~$5000 in the quality polystyrene capacitors used by Daniels Audio) and in any case would degrade the signal's fidelity.
