Addendum: 8bit is of course a bit optimistic for R2R, so maybe I will just use a chip with built-in DAC.

Hello John, thanks for your detailed input. And Jon, yes, you were quite prophetic. Eerie...

So I can set the output voltage with PWM, that is convenient. I don't know enough about switch mode power supply feedback loops to understand why it works like that exactly, though, but for now I will take it. Thanks for your spreadsheet!

I will probably build an 8bit R2R network and use a shift register to create a small DAC that way.

Now that I have you here, can you answer me another question? I was wondering if the circuitry couldbe tweaked as to allow a maximum output voltage of 250V or even 300V. I will only need a maximum current of 10mA since I want to build a testing stand for single Nixie tubes.

You can also build your own DAC with an R2R network controlled by GPIOs that will give you a linear Radj = Vout voltage vs binary code. You can buy R2R ladders off the shelf: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/4610X-R2R-103LF/4610X-R2R-103LF-ND/3787967
