This part allows replacing the audio jack on the NR200 top/front panel with a USB-C port.
This will require permanently modifying the top panel to expand the audio jack hole.
The theory is that folks won't be using the audio jack quite as much as USB-C, so we can leverage that location on the case. This is a convenient spot to modify, as there's already a hole, the panel is plastic, has mounting holes already, and doesn't require major work any metal parts.
There are many USB-C cables out there, but most will likely require major modifications to fit the space. This one seems to meet the need:

In theory no additional hardware is needed, as we're reusing what is there as pressure fit seems pretty good. But the cable and mount has a M1 hole to allow for fixed attachment just in case.
(Yes, I haven't cut into the case yet. I'm a little afraid to :)
