RE: Pondering DHTs for headphone use

DC on the filaments is a must have.

Beyond that, you want some flexibility with the output transformer, but more likely the ability to switch between 2, 4, and 8 Ohms. You do not want an output transformer with a really high impedance tap for driving headphones, as none of the headphones on the market are going to want 3500mW off a 100 Ohm tap (too much power, too much noise).

An 8 ohm secondary is likely desirable for both your 250 Ohm headphones and power hungry planars.
