Is my Bel Canto Evo amp "direct coupled"?

I have tried googling this and also looking in the manual.
Unfortunately I don't even know what "direct coupled" means. Can anyone enlighten me as to what it means and whether my amp is DC?
 
I think it's a bit of marketing nonsense TBH. If it's a transistor amp then "DC" may well mean "connected directly to the transistors". Er yes, well they all are. I suppose you could argue that some amps use DC blocking capacitors on the outputs so they could be described as "capacitor coupled", but AFAIAC this is a "so what" feature, there's nothing to suggest either way fundamentally sounds better. Valve amps use higher internal voltages so they need output transformers, so none of them are DC.
