If you want to do mods, the Behringer Ultralink isn't any good,
it uses tiny surface mounted components.
( I've not had problems with the sound quality, )

The Rane units (SM82) look easy to mod, and the schematic is downloadable 
from their site.
...but beware, just putting in top notch op-amps in place of the standard 
ones isn't always going to work. A better op amp will have a better 
hi-frequency response, and may make the circuit unstable.
(although this probably wouldn't be a problem on a line mixer, as the gain 
is v.low)
