Yes, a DC blocking capacitor is a good idea in some cases. For example, between
the audio amp's output and the primary of a matching transformer. Otherwise, a
large DC current may flow due to a small DC offset from the amplifier since the
winding resistance is close to zero. This is not the case with a loudspeaker
which has many ohms of DC resistance.
