Please read my tutorial on my setup and how these tests are conducted: I know all of you are anxious about seeing the measurements of these two DAC variations. Yes, you better feel sorry for me or else! Each trip cost me 150 miles of driving for a total of 300 miles. After seeing some oddities I asked if I could remeasure both of them and both owners were kind enough to let me do that in a more relaxed setting. I had to do my testing while other activity was going on so a bit stressful with some potential for error. Again, since the back screws only hold the top chassis to the jacks, VERY CAREFULLY flip the Yggdrasil over to secure the screws through the bottom plate into the sheet metal inner top chassis.Both of these units were made available to me at our local audiophile society meeting. The next step is the secure the sheet metal inner top chassis back to the bottom chassis. The tolerances and machining of the threads is "good enough", but not perfect. You will find that some screws go in easier than others. Align the screws properly while screwing them down so you don't strip any threads. If you tighten down one all the way, you may find that other screw holes will not align correctly. Make sure you fit ALL of the screws on the chassis BEFORE tightening them down. BE CAREFUL not to strip the plastic threads on the back. Make sure you push in the back of the chassis SNUG into the jacks. Slide internal chassis back in between the top / outer chassis and bottom chassis I only required the pin from the front for alignment on the last LED. The last two LEDs took some time (two minutes), but it was fairly easy. Use your smartphone flashlight for illumination.The wood provides from friction to the back edge of the LED to facility pushing it in. Push the LED in on the body, not on the leads.I found it easier to align the LED just above the hole and just push down and in with the chopstick or screwdriver.You will also leave yourself more clearance for tools when the outside LEDs are pushed in. Work your way from the outside to the inside LED.Here is a tip on that will help with alignment. Use the chopstick (or better yet a flathead screwdriver) to push the LED down and into the outer chassis. Use pliers to align the LEDs just above the holes.

Secure these screws between the bottom and the outer / top chassis Instead we assembly the outer plate with the bottom plate. We do not put the sheet metal inner top chassis back yet. This is where we diverge from the Yggdrasil instructions.

Needle nose pliers and a chopstick / flathead screwdriver (for LED alignment).

You will need a philips screwdriver and a adjustment wrench / plier (for the locknut on the BNC connector).

This is very easy to do as the threads are soft aluminum or plastic.

Have a good set of screwdrivers and use the right size bits.

Leave the Gen 5 USB upgrade board in the anti-static bag until you actually need it.Don't do stupid shit like walk around and rub your socks on carpet.But in reality, no one is real life uses one, so ground yourself by touching the chassis of the Yggdrasil before you plug it. The advanced computering shit on the boards are sensitive to static discharge. Take electrostatic discharge precautions.

I have no idea if Schiit will allow a self install for the Gen USB board or not.

Do this at your own risk! You screw it up, not my problem.
