I'd just use a WaveShaperNode here of f(x) = x + 50

I've currently got a (hacky) helper function in my toolbox that creates
WaveShaperNodes from arbitrary JS transforms for this kind of thing, and I
fully expect such a thing to become an essential and integral part of every
non-trivial Web Audio framework.

(Of course, why you'd want to add a DC offset in the first place to an AC
signal is something of mystery to me but exploratory DSP respects no
limits.)
