If you have a non-zero frequency set on the USRP then your DC offset 
will be mixed to that frequency.  If you really want DC offset then you 
can not use the DUC, or you can use the registers in the AD9862 to add 
DC offset after the upconversion.  The registers will only give you a 
limited range, however.
