It is unquestionably an ambiguous project. The topmost question that I would ask myself after this project would be the following: can Milq-biased 6E5P to be as good (sound-wise) DC driver as some vintage direct heated tubes. I did ask thin question myself after I implement my MF DSET but I do not have the answer.
In regard the project as a whole. I wonder if it worth to built up something as elaborate as it proposed just to drive headphones? I do not want to belittle headphones. I like headphones myself but I can’t not lose the feeling that headphones do not need elaborate or sophisticated amplification. I had 3-4 dedicated headphone amps myself in past and have built one on my own. None of them sound good and I very mach appreciate to drive headphones from some kind of chip-based headphone jacks. Perhaps it is me but I am very forgiving to the quality of headphone drive and I would question if it worth to create a federal case about headphones.
