D/A converter upgrade

My good old Lucid DA9624 just busted - the toggle switch to select the digital input broke. They say it's anywhere from $80 to $300 to fix it. It's about six years old, so I'd consider $100 as the top amount to pay, otherwise it's not worth it.

But, is this converter still viable when compared to the Lavry DA10, Benchmark, DAC1, or even the Dangerous Dbox? I'm aware of the features of each and the extra goodies on the dbox - and I do need a monitor controller as well (considering the SPL 2381 too).

So, worth it to fix the lucid or just bite the bullet and upgrade? Financially I can do it...
