Discrete I-V converter

The first is an old project.
Simulation is on improved designs with reduced noises.

those values of distortion are only reached in a simulation with identical values of each transistor pair. Maybe a monte-carlo analysis should be done even when it takes a long time to simulate.

You also have to have a proper model of your DAC working into your input impedance, that is where most problems will arise.
I think 2 good opamps and a modern differential output DAC will give you much better results.

A very stupid statement.
You do not understand what causes THD nor the way of reducing it.
 
We used to fall behind and learn from people like Bob Pease and Bob Vidler.
But after them, everything became stupid.

We are following you and at a dead end, but we are still lagging behind.
There are still living people here who can think, but it won't take long.
We'll catch up with you.

Otherwise, we're just more honest and tell the truth.
When someone writes nonsense, we tell them so.
