Can I use a 6.3V cap in place of a 16V cap?

I want to upgrade the capacitors on the voltage supply to the DAC of my DVD player with Black Gate's.
The chip uses a 3.3V supply (Vdd) for the digital side and a 5V supply (Vcc) for the Analog side, using 200uF/16V and 47uF/16V caps. Is it safe to use the 6.3V NX Black Gate here? I figure the 16V cap used by the manufacturer is overkill?
