global.
Can you save the EQ settings to a specific music file, or is it a global correction?
I highly recommend the Bongiovi DPS app. They have versions for PC/Mac, and iPhone / iPad.
I use it exclusively to play music on both my iDevices. It has different profiles for different speakers/headphones you use. Also improves the dock sound for car use. It uses some type of expansion ( I assume) and EQ's to create these different profiles. It also just added a parametric-type EQ to handle a bass and treble curves.
I don't particularly like the profiles created for specific phones but use the 'city' profiles instead. I'd be curious to see that you guys think about it. Definitely worth checking out.
Looking into that Bongiovi DPS. Never heard of it, and seems interesting.
I got Accudio software for my iPhone 5 the other day and it opens up an entirely new level of audiophile sound quality for me. Using my Ultimate Audio UE11's they sound great to begin with but now they are off the scale on every audiophile recording I have. Being a person that listens to lots of pipe organ, this has given the natural sound of the pedal pipes realistic sound. Since the UE 11 is not on the Accudio list I used the UE18 profile and just added a little bass to compensate for the 2 extra armatures that the UE18 has and not the UE11.
After reviewing the Golden Ear site and viewing the measurements of many other earphones, this is a natural path.
At CanJam in Denver 2 weeks ago I listened to ALL of the IEM and liked the Ultimate Ear Personal Reference Monitor after I tuned it to my liking. The catch is that now my UE11's with the Accudio sound much better by many levels. I would recommend this product as a must for and IEM owner. After you go through there complete site you realize there precise work is what is needed to complete my listening experience. Not just talk but hard measurements. It shows the JH13 measured better then the UE18 and the Rooth LS8+ did the best of all.
One Happy Customer
I've been a professional sound engineer for 25+ years and I will support any claim that Accuio Software is by a far, hands down, without comparison, second to none, the best headphone/EQ neutralizer app than even the closest second, which is kinda a tie between Audiforge's Equalizer and EQu. The quality, clarity, and precise ability to fine tune every sonic detail to fit the specs of your exact phones, and speaker system to boot, will sound monkey balls better than I can possibly describe in words. It's worth my taking the time to write this as I'm currently busy working in the studio with Mumford & Sons and I'd get fired if they caught me jerking off to Head-Fi-.org, however, I feel it's that important to mention that if you want to transform the ultra embarrassing, stab-me-in-the-ear quality music provided by the iPhone's built-in EQ (even coupled with all the lousy EQ apps I've seen posted around here) into the absolute most insane sounding music you've ever heard from an EQ that isn't custom built for David Guilmour of Sting's home studios, which start at $10k, you MUST pick up Accudio Software right now or you're wasting your life away at the expense of your poor ear drums and for the cost of a Thai hand-job or anything from White Castle. Just do it you lazy cheap bastards and send your thank you's to the dude who wrote what's in the blueish purple box above my reply.
