What are you driving with this? If the load is a relatively high impedance (20k or higher, I see two 1k resistors in series on each output), the series resistance should have minimal effect. Do you really need an LPF there? If not, you can save some parts and possibly drop the resistor values. One concern, if your load is a low impedance, is what the chip can drive. It may not be able to source or sink enough current for a low impedance load. Finally, be careful about capacitive loads on op amps. The capacity along with the output resistance will cause a phase delay in the output, which is then additional phase delay in the feedback, which can make the circuit unstable. Good luck!
