Buffer will be hard to change but the three included are some of the best around, so there is no real need to change them. As for opamp, you are not limited to those included. However, not all opamp will be compatible.

 
 
the buf can be changed too! will release more photos about how to change the OP and buf.

You can give the E17 to your family member, play with it, use it in another setup, use it as another portable unit, or sell it.

This looks like a good deal, Never understood why they didn't start the e12 like this in the first place?  It has enough room for 2 Buf634's and either LM4562 or LT1364 to start. That would be a much better sounding unit then the " Standard" E12 now.  Put those on dips, and you could have swapped opamps from the start.  That kept me away from buying one the first time.

Warranty, support, cost, problems arising, market needs
 
There is no warranty on devices like this
 
With such a DIY device, some will probably mess up or can't read the directions. Thus more support questions.
 
Problems will arise with people who toy with their units than with those who don't.
 
And most people probably don't need the $80-$100 cost increase for this DIY version and just want an amp. 
 
This new version is for people like you, who didn't buy one initially because they wanted one like this. It's the best of both worlds.
