Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

[docBliny]

I am afraid that Android will never happen and it makes it difficult to invest into the ecosystem if that's where all their cool new stuff is going to be. The early reviews of Forkbeard aren't great and give the impression they are struggling with getting the iPhone app to work correctly with their USB dongle. They'll then need to hire and/or gain expertise in Android to go through that process all over again. Worse yet, if only a small fraction of their buyers have Android devices they might never make the investment and we'll be locked out of the ecosystem.

So. Much. Misinformation.

Or buy a renewed iPad on Amazon for less than $150 and give it a try.

Old refurbished iPhones are even cheaper

This is a very very cheap universal remote, especially for something that has a 10" screen.

Personally, I use an old phone or iPad, because I don't want to deal with my phone phone after hours. You can make it a clean device and even turn off wifi entirely, and Forkbeard works just fine.

Also personally, I don't understand the fight between two different camps. I carry a Macbook Air an Microsoft Surface in my bag at all times, and I always have both an iPhone and an Android phone. Maybe I'm crazy.

All that said, Android development continues, if you want to wait.

Yet, that is still money that can go towards NOS tubes.

Yes, I am taking the express lane down that rabbit hole.

Tks Jason.

I think this headless hero is pleased today. He is remembered.

I upgraded my Kara the first day it was available and have had zero issues. Not sure where the "early reviews" are but feel free to post a link.

I don't get it either. They're tools, not a religion. My primary phone is an iPhone, my burner phone for international travel is Android, I have Windows PC's (work, gaming, telescope control), a couple of Macs, a Linux laptop, a BSD PC, iPad, and an old Android tablet lying around somewhere....

Pro tip: there are no such reviews. Someone has an axe to grind.

Loudness, peq and a Lokius.

I'll either be in tone control heaven or suffer from tone control nervosa.

Har.

No issues with any OS here, but I use Pixel 6 as my daily driver. I have a Macbook Air (14 year old model, yeah it is still kicking), a Windows 11 gaming PC I built, and I have dabbled with Linux in the past. I have an older iPad sitting around, and I guess I could dust it off and see if it still holds a charge.

 

[rowdyrobot]

Yes. And 5-band PEQ.

A non audio engineer might imagine FB using the phone’s mic to give an option to automatically implement or recommend manual entry of a room correcting parametric eq curve. My Gungnir 2 is asking, not me.

I think Jason and Mike concentrated on offering stellar customer service before releasing their first roll-out of product.

Common sense.

Are the black cases now brushed aluminum or do they still match all of the old black gear? It is hard for me to tell from the Mimir pics.
