But then that is not an amplifier! That's a high current output DAC.

It's a solution which obviates the need for an amplifier. But I go back to my original statement. An amplfier is an analogue circuit. It is. It has to be. An amplifier takes an analogue current or voltage and makes it bigger ( a simple class A amplifier with a simple transistor *is* an analogue circuit. There's nothing digital about it).

It's akin to saying "digital aerial for FreeView". It's not a digitial aerial, it's an analogue aerial.
