Don't you have any alternatives ? IMO the MKS4 is crap for audio, i didn't believe it was noticeable, and it was snake-oil but it really does sound harsh and rough compared to Evox CMK polycarbonate which is basically the same size (width is a bit larger).
Difference between MKS2 and 4 is negligible, only the pin grid/spacing is different. Also, the insulation resistance is larger with the MKS4.

Input capacitors for a cmoy. Actually Im already using 1uF MKS2 caps for my first cmoy that I made, but the hole spacing that I made on the PCB are just right for the smaller caps. Will it be worth it to drill new holes so that I can fit in the bigger caps?
Oops, it seems that the MKS4 are 2.2uF. Sorry about the wrong info. So its between WIMA 1uF MKS2 and WIMA 2.2uf MKS4.
Oh, btw I think I might of made the biggest cmoy ever(17cm x 10cm). I might post pictures later. Please don't laugh
It uses 2 NE5534AN chips and Im really impressed with the sound. Well this is the first headphone amp that ive ever heard so that might be why.
If you really need a cap in teh signal path is would be better to use
a PP or PS cap. You could try a MKP2 or MKP4 or MKP10 if you
need to use WIMAs.
If not, there are plenty of other good PP caps in the uF range.
