I/V converter for dac search

If you have a current O/P DAC chip, working into a setup similar to a phono preamp, minus the RIAA EQ network, can be effective. The I/P grid to ground resistance is kept small, as you only need 4 or so mV. of I/P. For instance, a chip whose O/P is 400 μA. working into a 10 Ω grid to ground resistance yields the targeted 4 mV. signal. The DAC chip is not subjected to undue stress. A 6922 in each channel should be quite sufficient to raise that 4 mV. up to "line" level.
 
It is a CF with.
On secondary with resistor + cap you can trim the freq answer.
The resistor onprimary are around 100 ohm.
The output caps are polyprop. not electrolytic, it is my error on diagram.
This stuff works great
