eqMac VS qpwgraph

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.

reasonable gui solution: qpwgraph

qpwgraph?

qpwgraph is a GUI to manage the pipewire audio routes

The example referenced the it's Catia, but qpwgraph https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/rncbc/qpwgraph and helvum https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/helvum should do a good job too. Either way, it's easy to achieve multiple outputs with any of those.

I use qpwgraph to output my music on my speakers and all other sounds on my headphones. You might want to check it out

For routing, use qpwgraph.

If you're using Pipewire, you'll probably want to use qpwgraph instead of qjackctl. It's almost identical to qjackctl, but is built for Pipewire and should have better support.
