So I was hoping to upgrade to the latest firmware today. Here's a somewhat rough sequence of events: 1. Plugged device in, opened Tangara Companion app. The app couldn't find the device. 2. After ...

Post: SD-Card holder bent and eventually broke my card

I don't know if the tolerances on my card holder are tight, or something else is amiss, but I've always had *really* a hard time getting the holder to attach to cards. My SanDisk Ultra is having an...

If anyone in here has problems connecting your device without sudo, make sure to add your user to the uucp group. And then logout / login so it takes effect.

I discovered you can long press on the left of the wheel to go backwards, and I think a long right press goes to what's playing? This discovery has made my navigation far better. Is there a list of...

I think most statically-linked deps are contained in the flatpak, but stuff like the UI probably relies on other external flatpaks because of how large (and how common of a dep they are) so I'm not en...

Post: RE: Bluetooth sink?

Neato! I kinda like the idea of the Tangara being a bit of a audio swiss army knife. Obviously not to the point that it detracts from its core function, though.

I saw another member talking about using the Tangara as a USB DAC, which got me thinking if it could be used as a Bluetooth audio sink as well. I know the quality might suffer, but there are times whe...
