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 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
