AD9834 + AD8014 DC return resistor

Question

I have an AC-coupled signal coming from an AD9834 fed into an AD8014 as shown below. 
 
 Do I need a DC return resistor to ground between C11 and U7 and, if so, what value should I use? 
 
 My maximum output frequency will be 5 MHz, sine wave only. 
 
 Thanks for helping out this ME :)

Your amplifier is already bipolar so I see no reason you would need a resistor to GND at its input. Do remember that both Iout and IoutB should have a reference resistor to Gnd (I see R24 for IoutB, but not sure if you have one for Iout which you are not showing).
