Ratings and Reviews
Love it!!
Something so simple, but yet so great to have! I have been testing out Forkbeard along with my new Aegirs & Kara over the last week, and it has been great. The fact now that I can control my whole audio system (also have Eversolo DMP-A8 streamer) with my phone is game changing to me. I now don’t need my phone with multiple remotes. How I can see with Forkbeard the power meters and if I’m still in Class A or not, and that I can put the amp in or out of standby is outstanding.
Also, kudos to the developer of this app! Design is great, the dark/light auto mode in app & app icon, and with all options in settings. I will say though the volume knob for my Kara in the app is finicky. Keep the volume dial, but is there anyway you could put a + over the gain button, and a - over the input button (or anywhere) to control the volume as well? Then in settings we could have options to choose db levels we could change the volume on one tap of + or - of say 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 db etc.,?
Great job on coming out with the Forkbeard!Unless it’s for desktop use near me, I couldn’t imagine buying a product in the future without it. Can’t wait for future updates.
Excellent!
This is a significant product! Paired with my tube amp I now have a remote control (iPhone and iPad) for volume. I also have a three band PEQ that allows me to fine tune my Klipsch Heresy speakers. And the Mimir DAC sounds wonderful (I also have a Topping and Denafrips). Once Forkbeard is part of your system you will no longer feel the need to upgrade your DAC because the sound can be tailored to your preference. Wonderful!
Works great easy to use
Well designed software that works
