DAC-Opamp Implementation: Opinions on this Design (does it work?)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a DAC-opamp design intended for sound processing, with particular attention to noise decoupling through capacitors. The designer expresses uncertainty about the placement of the GND signal between two capacitors and seeks validation of the design's safety. Responses suggest that the design is likely safe, with encouragement to proceed based on previous successful audio circuit experiences. The conversation emphasizes practical testing over theoretical concerns, highlighting the importance of hands-on experimentation in audio design. Overall, the consensus leans towards confidence in the proposed implementation.

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to DAC's, so I'd like your opinions of this design before something explodes:

I am trying to implement this particular design to process sounds.
I've added capacitors for decoupling noise, and found this to be the most condensed design that can fit. I am not so certain however about having the GND signal in between the two capacitors.

Can someone please verify if this is safe?

Safe? 5 vdc ... yea. Heck, I've designed many audio (synthesizer related) circuits with no test instruments other than my ear. Give it a try.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
