no, mics are definitely important in regards to that [arguably the most important aspect along with placement]...and its not that the manufacturers are using "sub-par parts", just a different quality level [better parts, bigger cost]
given the same mics/location&placement/sound source/etcetc, there will be a major difference in yer final recording when using the stock built-in pre on one of these compact field recorders vs running through say an Avalon or Neve or Focusrite pre-amp [all of which have their own distinct "sound" as well]
as for the mods folks like Doug Oade or the Busman guy etc are doing, its not only the pre's which are getting upgrades, also the signal paths [lowering the noise floor] amongst other parts...for some it may not be worth the cost, guess it kinda depends how "audiophile" one is and personal taste...hell, some folks think 128 mp3 sounds fine
