For the caps on a zendrive clone can I use orange drop caps the p715 series there rated at 600v. Does it matter much? What should I have used?

The only consideration when using high-voltage caps is whether they fit on the board or not. The high-voltage Xicon or Sprague caps are a great deal larger than the Panasonic or Topmay 50-100v film caps. Unless the PCB intentionally accounts for large cap sizes, it probably doesn't have room.

I'm using perf board so I can make them fit. Asking as theres no tone difference
