What watt ratting is suggested for this application?

Mouse is hovering over the order button at PC

Also, those are 100k ohms each right?

He mentioned he rasied the output resistance to 200k, so 100k for each film cap?

the resistors to the left of the RCAs look like 1/8W vishay/dales and the 2 resistors on the right connecting the white caps look like 1/4W vishay/dales. KEep in mind that for all intents and purposes, 1/8W vds are 1/4W and 1/4W are 1/2W

also, would to be so bad to play it safe and just get 1/2 watt's? or is that detremental to the sound?

I suppose that the input signal after the coupling capacitors is connected to the op-amp inputs, right ?

Then about zero current will be drawn from the inputs, so the calculations would be simple.

P=U^2/R

For input signal level it could be anything, since manufacturers use different outputs, and if the output is amplified.... But 2.5V is a good measure.

The P=2.5^2/100 = 0,0625 mW

1/8W is 125mW

So it would work well enough.
If the don't go to the op-amps, do a KCL for the circuit until you find the current that pass through the input section....
