I’m afraid my Audio Aero Capitole mk2 has died

I really love listening to CD’s via my Capitole, but now, the player has gone into a permanent state of ‘MUTE’.  I’ve tried turning it off and on, unplugging / replugging the player, but nothing helps.  A constant state of MUTE.  So, do I repair the player (in the past, I have used Peter Noerbaek at PBN Audio for repairs), or do I bury the player and purchase a new CDP / server?  Thoughts?
