Audiophile Equipment Repair?


Looking for recommendations for a place/person who works on audio equipment. My DAC has a broken (snapped off due to my clumsiness) COAX port on the back that needs replacing. Seems like a fairly simply repair, but I'm not qualified to attempt it. Would appreciate a name and email for someone with the right skills for this.

@devinplombier, I do not own a motorcycle, I own 2 vehicles which I am not ever going to work on.  Where do you get off saying we should be able to fix our own stuff?  At my age, they aren’t even steady enough to solder, so by your thinking, I shouldn’t have high end equipment?  That blanket statement wasn’t very helpful or intelligent. 

I really believe that an audiophile should be able to repair their own electronics.

Honestly I hate repairing things in my electronics or home, but the lack of qualified techs (including plumbers, electricians, etc.), time to get the work done and costs really force my hand at times. 

I don't think an audiophile should necessarily be able to effect simple repairs, but those who do will spend more time listening to their gear than those who don't.

I am totally on board with plumbing, haven’t had a plumber in my house since I realized I can fix most issues and save $300 each time

(of course I screw up spectacularly first but it’s my own house so what, have to learn somewhere)

Ok. Maybe I should have written:

"I believe that electronics repair is a really useful skill for audiophiles to have".

Yea, I think I'll stick with that.

That's the idea!
