I've looked all over the product page - am I missing the specs for headphones? I'm specifically interested in mW into 32ohms.

Thanks

On the 8 Ohm tap driving 32 Ohm headphones, I would expect 500 to 600mW.
On the 4 Ohm tap driving 32 Ohm headphones, I would expect 250 to 300mW.

Does that mean my Mrspeakers Alpha Prime (50 Ohm and Efficiency: 90dB/mW ) headphone should be using the 8 Ohm tap setting?

You should use whichever tap sounds best.
