Optional S/PDIF digital input for APL Denon 3910

Dear Audiogoners,
I am a quite happy owner of APL modified Denon 3910.
Currently I am in the process of transferring my whole music collection to a music server in FLAC format.
In the chain of equipment I would need good quality DAC. The thought occurred to me that instead of purchasing new DAC, I should be able to install optional S/PDIF Coaxial Digital input allowing for connection of digital sources to my Denon (this option was offered by Alex after I modified my player).
Currently Alex is nowhere to be found (probably he is enjoying his stay in Bulgaria, who knows ;-) , so I am on my own.
My question to you is: do you know any good technician preferably in San Francisco area who would be able to add this type of input into my player?
Your answers and help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Lucian

If it were me, I'd buy a good stand alone DAC from the many available in the
listings.

1) Alex is not presently available to customers for service requests due to his
extended overseas stay
2) A secondary technician could screw up the APL player, and then what do
you do?

Modding the APL is a risky move, IMO.

I agree w Tvad. Its already been modified once and unless your player is different than mine, its not exactly a wide open, neat and easily traced layout inside. Buy a DAC or wait til Alex returns.
