Equalizer

A graphic or parametric EQ, with AutoEQ and Equalizer APO import.

Where to find it

  • Settings › Equalizer, or from Now Playing.

Two modes

  • Graphic: drag six bands, or start from one of the Starting points.
  • Parametric: drag the dots, or set each filter's frequency, gain and Q.
  • Off · original balance turns it off.

Save and import

  • Save a curve with a name. It's kept on the device.
  • Import AutoEQ / Equalizer APO: paste the text with its Preamp and Filter lines.
  • Export… shares a curve.

And bit-perfect

An active EQ turns the Signal Path light orange. For DSD over DoP the EQ is bypassed, so the DSD stays untouched.
