Please measure the voltages directly at the ouputs of the DAC. These are the
pins 11 and 12 of the TLC5620. If these are stable it seems like a problem
with the TLC274. The TLC274 is used only for buffering and amplifying the
DAC outputs. If you have no TLC274 available you may use also a TL064 or
TL084 or LM324. If this does not help add a small ceramic capacitor (~
100pF) to the feedback of each output OpAmp. These are the pins 1/2 (or
across R16) and 7/6 (across R19) of the TLC274.

Best wishes
