Are there any one know where I can repair Chord decoder DAC 64 , it is an old model since 2001, the Chord DAC not functioning decode first then power off and cannot turn on . Is too old to fix need to change . please anyone can give me an advice .

成10幾廿年電子野，相信依家好多平一半價錢都，好過佢好成倍。

that is right , but what can I do with it ? sell it to repair shop for parts !

睇你個問題基本上似係啲電容老化，導致電壓唔穩定，唔知裏便係唔係傳統電容，同幾多維修費。

一般壞咗電子零件賣出去唔會好值錢。

If it's related to power supply, it can be repaired though not worth doing so due to age. A new DAC from SMSL is pretty good, yet with DSD USB input. ES9038Q2M dual D/A.(there is pro D/A but more pricey)

Thank you everybody give me sincere advice , is any repair shop I can get a quote beside Chord agency .

你連打開架機, 影相 post 上來, 都懶, 叫網友點幫你?整都哂氣, 買架新的好過. 畢竟 2001年的產品, 數碼科技番了幾轉, 仲值得修理嗎?

My vintage PS audio reference link worked for a little while upon powered up. Opened up, one rectifier was burnt(double layer PCB board), replaced but still to no avail. Simply want to give away to someone for parts/repair. So, bought the SMSL D/A instead.

Even AV walkman, won't repair D/A(or projector) due to low success rate(unless related to power supply only). You do your homework to look for the shops.

送给我吧

I had tried to upload the photo but it was not succeeded , photo over 1M .Also I need a right tool to open up the cover .
you guys are right , it made no sense to struggling on the old ancient equipment .

Actually, if you like the dac, why not fix it. You can try av Walkman and see what they have to say. Old dac has its own charm. (I have many dacs from the 90s. Yes they need some tlc at times but as long as you think it's worth it, why not.)

(ICs seldom breakdown. Maybe capacitors dry up due to old age.)

Can I replace the rechargeable battery of my Chord Hugo 2 with a new one by myself ?

如果係我，我會試下去av 樂文試下整下， 最多跌千多元。 令我想起我D會計佬朋友， 屙篤屎之前都計下用幾多格廁紙。

Same for other electrical appliances which are aged/out of spec, fixing would still be fine but sometimes, confined to DIY for preliminary checks/obvious symptoms. There is a terminology called "beyond economical repair". Besides, performance is not on par with latest standard. Still using CRT TV which is working, can't really help.

D/A, no repairman would bother to fix since the chance of success is rather low.(except confined to PS, can't tell without inspection so would reject the work right from the beginning) Can call little Chan(not the big Chan, only clerical work) AV walkman for any service. For DIY, use ESR meter to check all electrolytic cap's, check all diodes for continuity, any burnt resistors.(transistor/IGBT for more advanced DIYérs) No clue, simply dump.

I am very appreciated you guys giving me a kindliness detail thoroughly opinions , so I decided to looking for reasonable price DAC for the moment .

I also had a old power amp and want to take it to repair. Considering the cost and delivery time to repairing, it was quite hesitating whether it should be repaired or not.
But wasteful if the amp is scrapped to rubbish bin!

If I were you, I would call AV walkman to see what they have to say re your dac and amp. Without numbers, any decision may not be wise.

u are a Chord fans or just want to preserve your investment ?
if former, buy a current Chord DAC to support the company, and experience how their technology advanced nowadays.

btw, i thought u better post this in "影音天地" instead.
