    I don't see why not. Everything is screwed down internally and won't move.

    Yeah that's what i was thinking but still apprehensive about having things being supported vertically, when they were designed to be supported horizontally. Just afraid to damage it i guess. Thanks mate!

    That's a good question for Schiit, it may affect the way heat is vented

    I prop my Gungnir on its side under my small home work desk. I use 3M rubber feet. The DAC is warmish for the last couple of months. I don’t think any Schiit DACs have vents anyway (interference).

    I see a lot of small bores in the top, putting Yggi upright will surely change heat dissipation, whether that is critical? Dunno

    May affect the way the AD chips stabilize or not...

    Those small holes are only on one of the plates. Directly under that is a solid steel plate.

    @Walderstorn, JK is right (for a lot of reasons). So: email Schiit.

    New nervosa alert. Does Yggdrasil sound better upright? Do the chips need longer to settle or do they settle earlier? You opened Pandora’s box Walderstorn

    @mitochondrium I'll listen to mine upside down and report on sound quality.

    If me and the yiggy are upside down, does that cancel everything out and bring us back to right side up?

    I don't think so, due to room effects. Looks like this could get challenging.

    If you put Yggdrasil upside down the phase inverts and you have to switch the left and right interconnects. In rare circumstances the music also plays backwards.

    Yggdrasil actually makes a nice monitor stand. If monitors aren't mounted, you can get all kinds of monitor stands on top of it.

    "In rare circumstances the music also plays backwards." ...

    And turns out to be satanic curse that the listener is condemned to spend more and more money on audio eternally.

    Schiit answered: "That shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure that the vents on the top are not blocked.".

    Let us know you hear any differences (not a joke).
