Soldering doesn't bother me too much, but the problem is the RCA jacks are on the bottom side of the board where you can't get to them. The board is soldered to other boards that run at 45 degrees to this board. Not a task to be taken lightly. There's probably a way to pop the whole thing out, but if there is, it's not apparent as to how to do that. Plus, lots of pins and plugs and wires to remember where they go.
