It is THE Ideal solution if you have a few mV DC on your source otput.Not sure what you mean here by "ideal."
While a transformer will not pass the DC on to the amplifier (a good thing), DC at the primary or secondary of any transformer will result in a magnetic bias in the core which will increase distortion and cause the core to saturate at lower levels.
