It looks like your tech relied on guesswork rather than actually identifying the problem. One of the hazards of that approach is that even if you guess the failed part correctly, you haven't ruled out that a problem elsewhere in the device triggered the component failure.

I think the suggestion to contact Audio Classics was a good one. There are also other factory-authorized Mac shops that I'm sure could help you. That should be your focus, imo, rather than fixating on the price of parts.
