[sdiy] generate 0v from out of nothing..

Why not simply use a voltage divider at the reference terminal of each
op-amp? There should be no need to buffer it for op-amp reference use. The
only current flowing for the reference terminal (+ pin) in an inverter
circuit is the bias current of the input stage . This is typically less than
1 microampere, and will simply shift the DC value by E=IR.
