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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the implementation of a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) design for audio processing, specifically addressing the placement of the GND signal between two decoupling capacitors. The user expresses uncertainty about the safety of this configuration while highlighting their experience in designing synthesizer-related circuits without test instruments. The consensus suggests that the design is acceptable, encouraging experimentation with the setup.

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.
