Correct, I/V stages going back in the days of R2R Ladder Multibit dacs, were opamps with negative feedback, no matter how good the opamp was, the negative feedback couldn't handle the very high frequency glitches noise and other rubbish that came out of them.
Today we now know to use active I/V stages that don't use feedback, and they then can make these old R2R Multibit dacs really come to life.
Passive I/V resistors for R2R Multibit are ok, but they kill the output too much, so the next stage has be amplified too much to get anywhere near 2v, trouble is that the noise and crap gets boosted along with it and you end up with it on the output.
The best Multibit dac with good I/V stage I've heard is the PCM1704 followed by the PCM1702 then the TDA1541
