No problem Miro, I don’t want to burden you.
If you did offer an alternative board with SMD opamp, I would have it fabricated. I’ve tried enough opamps with your original layout to feel comfortable with a direct soldered SOIC8 opamp.
Thank you for considering the idea

The only thing in the table is that the PIN designations in the plate are not changed, it can mislead people).
GND is now 531 pins and 642 is data-bck-lrck
You are right guys, here is the label correction

There are DACs with successfuly implemented stopclock method. I did it too in my prototypes and tried to do it as simple as possible. However the simplicity was not the way here, because the stopclock modifies the LRCK. LRCK is the most critical signal in the NOS R-2R (due to possibility of audible jitter) and it should be driven directly from the source. Any further modification is out of the question of simplicity, and the only way is generating the LRCK externally from a precise clock
This complicates the whole thing so that shift registers become the number one choice for simplicity and efficiency. That's my opinion.
Yep, more than happy to share the DAC gerbers if it works out.
For the output stage I purchased the PCBs from JIMS Audio;
Borbely balanced tube input mosfet output linestage single ch preamplifier PCB ! - JIMS Audio
I've used this Borbely circuit before with great results. Its a very versatile circuit and I'll be configuring it like the attached diagram. There is a difficulty with this circuit though, the mosfets are a long time out of production and getting genuine parts is a bit of a challenge - fingers crossed that the ones I managed to obtain are genuine.
Of course, there are other options for I/V stages that could be used, I would quite like to try some of bisesik's transformers;

You can get some genuine lateral mosfets from exicon:
