Fix or replace Accuphase DC 91 DAC?

One channel coming out of the Accuphase is suddenly badly distorted. With a qualified audio guy, we did everything possible to narrow the problem down to the DAC.

I do love the Accuphase and will probably fix it but before I do, I thought I'd post to hear any opinions on options such as replacing it.

I am using it with a Shindo preamp and CJ Premier 140 amp.

Cost for repair would be $1500 plus shipping.

Thank you in advance

definitely worth repair but not $1500. $1500 is definitely inflated price and you must shop around. accuphase equipment does not drop value just like mcintosh.

Brand-related inflation marks up pricing according to the brand class.

To me it's nasty, ignorant and disrespectful to the customer cheap trick. Definitely those inflators aren't ones to trust because you might never see your unit back.

Same story happens when you drive in with classy german car to the shop and quick job like replacing that measurable ignition coil will cost you $400/hr labor. Business is GOOD when dummies are around for sure.
