I know, but you can't use it when you are using software like BitPerfect. Which is kind of logical, aither you try to play true reproduction as it's recorded or you use eq.
I've had that internal battle with myself many a time and arrived with this conclusion - When I want to do analytical or critical listening, no EQ and choose the right headphone for the job. Bitperfect to the DAC, no other programs running. T1 for classics, rock, LCD2 for mid-rangy material and so on. When I just want to rock out, have fun with my music, EQ away baybeh!
Which is not to say I don't EQ sometimes to do serious listening, just that I forbid myself to get stuck in one frame of mind, which is a sure way to become disenchanted with what you have.
Try Audirvana. It believe it will play files in their actual bitrate and you can engage the EQ too. Not 100% on this one, but I think it's able to do it. Someone chime in if I'm mistaken please.
