Ratings and reviews

My Kara F is turned on with Forkbeard module installed but app can't find it. Even with the phone a foot away I get "There's No Forked Up Schitt Nearby." Using a Moto G stylus 5G - 2024 that works perfectly with Eversolo and Hiby apps. Very disappointed. Even more disappointing is I decided to try loading the app on a new Samsung tablet but get app doesn't work with device. Which means I can't even load the app on the Samsung tablet. My tablet runs above listed apps perfectly like my phone.

Works good now after a few issues at the beginning. Appreciate its simplicity and usefulness. I am feeding my MIMIR to SYS passive volume control into my Parasound Power amp and I use the volume control on the Mimir all the time as I am on the couches. Do wish they would update to offer more Eq options but the three are useful.

Working great, Pixel 8 and Mesh DAC card
