Forkbeard™

Total Control is Only the Start

Forkbeard™ is the only multi-product, multi-stack unified control system that replaces a stack of remotes, shows you how your system is performing, and brings additional features like preamp and EQ capability to a DAC.

Forkbeard sets the standard for ease of use. There’s no pairing and no account creation. Just download the app and add your Forkbeard-enabled Schiit products to one or more “stacks.” Then, you’re ready to use the simple, dynamically adaptable interface for complete control.

But that’s just the start. Have a “office stack” and a “main listening stack?” No problem! Forkbeard is the only system that lets you create and control multiple systems on the same app.

Mind blown? Consider three other things:

Forkbeard extends and transforms products. Real-time power shows you if you amp is running in Class A and tells you how hard it's working. Visual Volume shows how much headroom on the volume knob. In Mimir, and soon in Gungnir 2, Mimir, Forkbeard transforms these DACs to s full digital preamp with balance, loudness, and parametric EQ. 

Forkbeard is also completely modular and optional. All Forkbeard-enabled products use a single standard external module that plugs into a unique, keyed slot. Don’t want Forkbeard? Cool, save $50. Or get a module to add it later, also for $50.  

Forkbeard is available on 12 Schiit products. This large number of Forkbeard-enabled gives you lots of options. You can start with Saga 2 and Vidar 2F, or go all the way up to Gungnir 2, Freya+ F, and Wotan (the giga-stack, hilariously still less than many single high-end audio products at under $5k).

We'll continue to advance and extend Forkbeard and make it even more capable, but additional Forkbeard featires will always be given to you at no additional cost. No one-time fees, no monthly vig. No sign-up, no account creation, no information collection. Ever.

Want total control? Want additional product capabilities? Want unique functionality that nobody else offers?  Then welcome to Forkbeard. Welcome to the new world.

Forkbeard is patent-pending.
