I really don't think there is a 'buffer' part in the mk2. The 2134 deals with LPF, and the 2604 the HPA.
The problem with bipolar/fet is that bipolar opamps don't always play nice in circuits designed for fet opamps. That is something to bear in mind - the mk2 was designed around fet opamps.
I'm not clear on ways to pick up problems, but a touch test (touch the chip, if it hurts then you probably have a problem) is one I've heard some use. The safest approach is just not to use a bipolar chip.
Francis - I got the upgraded PSU from coolfungadget on eBay.

I've used a psu which consists of a pair of 7812&7912. It was used for another headphone amp earlier.
Just use the rca output at the back. I don't have the stock opa2134 with me now, so i can't do one
