So I accidentally ran my new HD 560S with an insane sub-bass boost in EqualizerAPO for about 2 days. My headphones are plugged in directly into my old gigabyte motherboard, no amp whoever volume is not a problem normally my Windows volume is somewhere between 10% and 20%. I didn't know much...

I'm fresh to Head-Fi so here we go. I bought the Sundara kind of on a whim as it was the only headphone in the store that I tried that both a 3.5mm jack and a bass (compared to the other popular choices) under a budget. Nowadays I've been listening to IEMs like the (OG black filter) KZ PR2 and...

I recently bought an Earmen Angel that was on sale. It's a truly stellar device, and in many ways, it's everything I could ask for in a portable DAC/Amp. One minor gripe I have, however, is that the bass response is just a bit too polite for my tastes. By which I mean, the bass is more fast and...

I'd like to run Equalizer APO with my LCD2Cs, because the right EQ can make them sound like heaven. How do you guys choose between the two? Is bit-perfect playback worth not being able to to EQ your headphones? If I make sure no other audio streams are sent to my DAC, am I still somehow...

Hi, I've finally gotten my ER2SE and they do a really good job at isulating and the double tip is comfortable enough. The only problem I encountered is the audio being way too quiet, I have to bump the audio to 100 for it to be acceptable. Is there any way to make them louder? Do I need an...

This video explains how to use the program called "Equalizer APO" to improve the sound of speakers and headphones. I'm a believer in this, but part of the difficulty is using the software itself which can be confusing. The idea is to flatten the peaks and raise the dips to hammer the response...

I'm trying to start using Equalizer APO but I'm having some difficulty with loading and applying configurations. The documentation is, unfortunately, quite lacking and I'm not seeing my questions answered anywhere else. 1. How do multiple config files work? For instance if I have these two...

This is my current eq profile with the hifiman he-500 with grill mod. Not much EQ but I like the overall sound and wonder if it can get better. Please give me your input and current eq profiles that you are using. Preamp: -5 dB Filter: ON LS Fc 40 Hz Gain 2 dB Q 1.2 Filter: ON PK Fc 980 Hz Gain...

I recently got an ASUS Celeron N3350 based mini notebook which I want to use as a more personal stuff related computer, such as playing music etc. Will the 1.1GHz Celeron CPU on it run Equalizer APO well enough? Spec is similar to this:

I created a tool (see attachment) to easily convert FR measurements exported from REW into EqualizerAPO config files. You can import different speaker/headphone targets in REW and turn them into EQ files. 1. Export the graph from REW by file->export->export measurement as text. Choose any...

Mega Switcher 1.0 is now out, and it's free ! 😃 Check it out here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/mega-switcher/ Some screen caps : Thanks to the many people who helped me with this app, and pushed me to make it better than I ever thought it would be ! :wink:

I've just put Equalizer APO on my computer, and I'd like to try using it for desktop speakers Is there a guide anywhere that can tell me how to use it properly? And do I need to do anything differently, since I'm using it for speakers and not headphones?

Hello, Can I get some help with EQ for my HD 800s. I'm using APO Equalizer and this is where I'm at right now. I'm open to take suggestions on changing FC, Gain and the Q number. My ultimate goal is make the sound natural and "flat" as possible. Give this a listen and give me your input and...

Hey all, Spent most of the day making small adjustments to Equalizer APO for MMX300. I think I made the perfect slight U shape but generally balanced sound for pleather/leather pads (going to be too sibilant with stock pads). The goal was to find EQ that works with all music so subbass/bass is...

Hi all! Recently bought a DT1990 PRO including IFI iOne\Schiit Asgard2 combination that brings me tons of joy in my home setup. Now looking to expand that listening pleasure to the workplace. It'll have to be IEM's as I sometimes have to wear only 1 side. Don't want to spend more than 300. Am...

Hello, everyone. Recently I bought my first dac/amp Fiio e10k because I wanted to improve my listening experience and I encountered a problem. I like to play with the settings of the equalizer and after connecting my fiio e10k for the first time I found myself in a situation where unfortunately...

Hi all! I found an article in which someone has produced a linearizing set of EQ parameters (works well on equalizer APO with Peace installed) for the HE400i headphones. I believe this is for the newer version of the 400i's, as it matches with FR graphs I've seen for the new ones, and sounds...

Just bought some dt990 premium 32ohms got them for a steal! Currently I'm using some EQ APO settings for I think the 250 or 600ohm version. Sounds great but I just want to see if there are any settings more specific to the 32ohms that might work even better for me Headphones plugged directly...

Using audio processing objects (APOs) in Windows is possible since Vista. Those provide customizable, software-based digital signal processing (DSP). A freeware called Equalizer APO makes use of that infrastructure and allows to real-time-convolve 7.1 input sounds down to binaural stereo audio...
