Yep I am using foobar in Win7, can't remember what EQ software I used though
Foobar has a Graphic EQ plug-in.

I tried that too, seems to make things worse (or maybe using EQ isn't for me at this time?)
Well what settings are you using exactly? EQ would work to neutralize extreme peaks and minimize extreme dips in the response. The goal is to get as much of the response range as possible equal to where 1000hz is, or everything below that as equal as possible though all in some way slightly above where 1000hz is, to compensate for the slightly lower sensitivity of human ears or perception to lower frequencies.

It's been a while, I can't remember lol. Also I understand that each EQ setting is only for one headphone/speaker; what works for one may not sound as good as on another. This is why after some tweaking I decided to not use it since I will be switching between my headphones (currently two of them and more I think?) and speakers often.

That's how it's supposed to work - you need it to correct extreme response irregularities. It doesn't actually take a lot of effort to go from one profile to the next, you just pull up one from the presets. In Neutron Music Player though since it's a smartphone app you can program what EQ setting it uses by default when using USB digital, headphone out, or BT, although obviously on a desktop set-up running from a DAC-HPamp-Preamp there's no way for the computer to tell whether you're using headphones or speakers, so that necessitates switching out the profiles manually.

I guess manually switching out the profiles is simply not for me at this point of time, too much hassle and also I prefer improvements that will apply to all (i.e. not just in foobar for example)
