Default dac output behaviour

Hi

I'm trying to find a way to describe how the current outputs of a dac behave (e.g. TDA1541 or even TDA1547).
I'm pretty sure they're not perfect current sources...

So how would you approximate them?

Perfect voltage source with resistor in series that matches DAC output impedance?

I Think they're more perfect current sources (AC and DC for offsets) with a parallel resistor...
After all they are a bunch of switched capacitors, which store charge and deliver current into a load (=I/V resistor)

Unfortunately I have no idea how to check this (measure it).

Got some info on how TDA1541 is supposed to look like, used a similar model for the 1547 dac outputs and the results seem to match the datasheets after some tweaking.
