Self Installation Options
If you’re an experienced electronics technician or engineer who is familiar with ESD precautions, or work with a good tech, you can choose to have the Gen 5 board sent to you directly, fully tested and protected in an antistatic bag. Please note that by selecting this option, you are saying, "Yes, I am, or know, a competent electronics technician who does not need hand-holding for this installation, and I will not allow an inexperienced person to perform the upgrade, since I understand there are no user-serviceable parts inside."
Forget decrapifiers, regenerators, isolators, and all the USB dongles and boxes you’ve been told you need for USB sound. Our all-new Gen 5 USB input doesn’t require any of that stuff. It’s this simple: Gen 5 is USB, solved.
The new Gen 5 USB input board features:
1.Electromagnetic and electrostatic isolation using transformer coupling.
2.Self-power by the DAC for the critical low-noise re-clocking and latching sections.
3.Precision local clocks for both 44.1 and 48k multiples.
The new Gen 5 board is an upgrade for any Bifrost, Gungnir, or Yggdrasil with the Gen 1, 2, or 3 USB inputs, and now ships standard with every new Bifrost, Gungnir, or Yggdrasil.
2-Year Warranty, Made in USA
USB Gen 5 upgrade boards are covered by a 2-year warranty. A self-installed Gen 5 USB is not eligible for the 2 year warranty that is only for factory installed Gen 5 USBs, because we have had the opportunity to test and inspect the entire DAC. One caveat: Schiit may refuse to do upgrades on heavily modified products. Schiit installed upgrades cannot be returned. And, like all Schiit products, the USB Gen 5 board is made in the USA.
