Hiya!
Is there an easy to get approximate list of spare part prices for the MPC X?
Thinking of buying one with crappy headphone output thinking this is due to a defect card, I figure that changing this card is the solution. (The X is working but has, as said earlier, a crappy sound, headphonewise.

Worldwide supply chain issues have some parts for the MPC on backorder until mid-summer 2022, according to a recent forum thread regarding an MPC X. YMMV, but I'd definitely reach out to mpcstuff.com to get the details first. Looks like the rear analog assembly is in stock for the X, but not sure if that's what you'd need.

Do you know specifically the part that is bad?

Nah.
Since I haven't had a chance to see IRL I try to deduct whats wrong with it and my most recent theory is, as you imply, that the rear assembly is faulty. (Since I gather that the headphones output is a breakout from this, and there seem to be more outputs that are affected).
Thanx for you help. I'll do some more research.
