Maybe I'm missing something here, but do you need more than one
opamp for gain make-up?  I thought the goal was the less the better.
Personally I'd like to see all the inputs treated equally.  If
people want AC coupling on a few of the inputs they can tack solder
a cap on the input jack.  Or use TRS jacks - half-inserted would
be AC coupled, all the way in would be DC coupled.
