Hey Guys -- All is OK! My pre has a 10uf cap in series with both signal lines just as the XLR jack comes into the balanced input board. Actually pulling the output cap was something that had crossed my mind more than once but I just forgot about it. So was glad to get a prompt from Tweaker. I had the DAC out anyway so took me all of 20 minutes to pull the caps and replace with a length of Jupiter solid copper 18GA.
I can report that, well, it sounds like you took something out of the signal path! A bit more clarity, a bit more directness to the sound, the bass in particular sounds more incisive. The toe-tapping "groove factor" went up a couple notches. Nice!
