Is anyone here running B1 buffer without output caps (or is it without input cap???😕). I've read it somewhere that you can omit them to improve sound.

Look for DCB1
It's a different design though, deeply "inspired" to the original Pass's B1, but different (dual supply)

The B1 is AC coupled.
This is because the input operates at a voltage that is not @ audio ground.
and
Because the output operates at a voltage that is not at audio ground.
If your source can drive a high DC voltage input then you may be able to omit the input cap.
If your receiver can accept a high DC voltage input then you can omit the output cap.
If either of these are not the case, then you will break at least one end of your equipment.
