I am using balanced with Mjolnir. The balanced headphones I have all use dual 3 pin. The Mjolnir has choice of dual 3 pin or single 4 pin input. Ragnarok only has 4 pin input. I need an adaptor for my cable to fit the input it the Ragnarok balanced input.

 
I really suggest this:

Add me to the list of those who pre-ordered Ygg and did not get offered licorice, which I would have taken in a flash. OTOH, looking at Rag and Ygg, it seems the front/top pieces could be unscrewed without disturbing anything else, so perhaps Schiit will sell black cases to those of us who can DIY...

It's so glaring now, I have a dual tone stack. Yes, I would really want a black casing for Ragnarok!

Maybe send it out if you're comfortable disassembling it.

or maybe powder coat?

Just got my Yggy shipping notification !! 

 
My order was placed late May, so hopefully the June orders won't be too far off.

Woohoo! I ordered mine last Friday and it shipped yesterday! Woohoo!

But that would leave me with naked Schiit...

 
Actually had thought about aftermarket refinish - if only I could be sure that all markings would be preserved.

Shocking!

 3.  Remove all the chassis.  There are two chassis and you need to remove them all for best sound.  Naked is good!!!!!!  Just take the aluminum cover off then remove the entire steel under cover.  The circuit boards will still be mounted on a piece of alluminum...this is all you need.  Way, way better sound when run naked.

 
I smell alot of BS from #3. This kills off any hopes of the chassis blocking off EM/RF Interferences from your mobile phone/dect phones/bluetooth/wireless lan. Is he serious?

This is firmly based in DIY territory.
Some are willing and able to explore what changes do or don't make differences to the performance of their DAC, amp, what ever…
 
I have found that some tweaks can make impressive changes.
 
It’s the curiosity to find out, along with the willingness to take a calculated risk.
These 2 factors, curiosity and risk, are where the rubber meets the road, so to speak.
 
Those with experience in dealing with electronic gee-gaws can significantly reduce the latter (risk) while letting the former (curiosity) go places others may never comprehend.
 
And it's during these kinds of experiments where you truly come to know what taking responsibility for your actions, truly comes to mean… 

 
 
As for emi/rfi 'protection' the only way to know is to try it yourself, or have some one(s) perform these mods and report back…
 
As for me I opt for simplier, less intrusive mods, but if the curiosity is strong enough and I can reverse the mod 'cleanly', well then it can become a no brainer…

Gotta love FedEx Int'l priority shipping...
 
FedEx picked up my Yggy from California last night (barely an hour after I had confirmed payment to Schiit), Flew it across to Indianapolis for sorting, and then onto Toronto, Canada. where it is now waiting to board a truck to be delivered to my work place (scheduled to arrive around noon).
 
That's some fast Schiit!!!
 
 
 
 
As for tweaking the Yggy:
 
I plan to change the fuse and add some EMI absorption material to the inner chassis at some point as I generally find there's some sonic improvement to be had doing these. 
The fuse to me is usually the biggest bang for the buck improvement and pretty much a day one mod for me. EMI/RF absorption material(s) affects different gear in different ways and is something that requires some time to play around with. Seems you can definitely add to much with some gear and never enough with others.
