I broke my front panel audio port

So I tripped on my headphone's cable and now the front panel is now longer working unless I push it to the side.

I can use the port on my I/O panel, but it is awkward and messes up the other cables tdown there.

Could I use a DAC to fix my problem? If so which one is a good one under $100? And I don't feel like buying a new case and rebuilding my computer.
 


Wouldn't work, it would interfere with my other cables...
