AutoEq VS eqMac

I'm trying to follow this general process of EQing laptop speakers, which cites the AutoEQ Github wiki for digitizing a frequency response graph and converting it to CSV. The OP references converting the graphical data from an A-weighted scale to the dB scale, as well as interpolating more data points on their 20-frequency graph. Even without worrying about interpolation, I tried to follow the Github guide and just got hopelessly lost.

I have a topping dx3 pro+ and use https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master to play around with EQ's

jamesdsp/ An audio effect processor for PipeWire clients. It also uses presets from AutoEq.

what u can do do is go here https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results, pick and download the file for ur headphone and add it in APO equalizer as a second "graphic equalizer with variable bands" that will correct the first EQ with a curve made for ur headphone

Parametric EQ apps for Android can be googled, I use PowerAmp. The Qudelix takes care of all of that with its app to the point where you can load from a giant list of EQ sets they made from community data - Not all of it is accurate, better to go to the source. You can find EQ presets on the oratory1990 subreddit, Amir’s reviews for that particular headphone on Audiosciencereview and crinacle’s as well as rtings here: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/blob/master/results/INDEX.md

I always recommended hearing before buying, but I'm assuming you can't try many in person so use AutoEQ to get an idea what you like - https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq

https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/ (this has parametric EQ but it's a bit buried IIRC. It also has built-in support for AutoEQ according to this page so you might have to do almost nothing if you like the Harman curve)

Best alternative is eqMac

There is eqMac with 10 band eq in its free version. Its pretty good!

https://eqmac.app/ (I can't recall if / where this has a full parametric EQ)

eqMac https://eqmac.app

Very useful program, but god the UI is so bad..

As if it was designed for a touchscreen interface, and yet still poorly done, doesn't respect your aspect ratio, wastes ton of empty space, and the transition animation looks jarring

Gnome UX is killing the linux fun to me..

They want to clone the macOS UX, but they don't understand what makes it great..

Look at this beauty of an UX: https://eqmac.app/

eqMac: open-source, AUD$4.5/mth or AUD$60 outright. UI is a bit cluttered but pretty simple to use once you get the hg of it

https://eqmac.app/ has a free version

eqMAC is the one I found. I have no experience with macs but it appears to have all the audio features you're gonna want. I recommend never ever using gaming headphone software, it is rarely good.

Get some Schiit products and a volume controller. Paired with my Klipsch The Fives, it sounds like butter! Soooooooo smooth!! On my home machine, I use eqMac and that works perfectly. On my work laptop, my company won't let me install 3rd party apps. 😢 In the vid, I shut off the equalizer to compare sound differences.
