If you have low input impedance poweramp <50kohm. And you would like to use Lightspeed Attenuator with it. It would be good to have a buffer after it. Here are 2 different very good value stereo buffers to use, one even has the power supply built in.
I had a customer use the simpler cheaper one and he said it was way better than any of the better opamp buffers he has tried and used.
It would be nice if someone could sim these to see what they like in a non real world.

I've used the first of those buffers and found it was good - pretty transparent. You have to be careful to check the connections: they are not labelled very clearly.

I think I remember someone once saying it was Marantz HDAM buffer circuit. It's dc coupled throughout, did you get to measure the dc offset to see how low it was?

No I never measured the offset, and I don't have it set up now. I think I played safe and used a cap.
I'd be surprised if it was the HDAM circuit.
