We also have an MX130 with a headphone jack, so, perhaps, I can figure out a way to put that back into the system for stereo headphone listening.

The MX130 Manual mentions the use of low impedance dynamic headphones. Unfortunately neither the McIntosh nor Oppo specifications list their respective output impedance…however 32 Ohm or 80 Ohm should work just fine…250 Ohm is definitely not suited for your use case.
I would strongly recommend to audition the DT770 Pro first or buy from someone with a return policy. They are excellent professional tools and do the job for which they are designed…but for musical enjoyment at home you can do much better. Several fellow AA members have made excellent recommendations in this thread. Sennheiser or their Drop iterations come to mind.
