That is, if the frequency response is flat within 1/4 dB throughout the audible range, and the hiss is soft enough not to notice, and nothing sounds distorted, then replacing op-amps etc will likely offer no audible improvement.

I was under the impression that the Burr-Browns would give it a warmer sound and possibly a bit more headroom. Currently the preamps are quiet when they're not pushed too hard, but they sound very small & sterile. I just thought that if all I had to do was de-solder the existing opamp and solder a Burr-Brown in it's place, I could do one or two channels and it would be fairly simple and wouldn't cost alot of money. If the end result improves the sound of those channels, then I would consider doing more, but if not then I could always put the original opamps back in it. If it fries the channels, or the even whole board, who cares because it's a POS Behringer.
