  Does any use EQ APO 1.1? How does it compare to others for system volume on PCs?

I used it exclusively in the past, and found it worked great. But once I discovered Equalify Pro for equalizing Spotify, I stopped using it. I still have it installed on my PC, I just currently have it disabled as it is a system wide EQ, which was why I chose it in the first place. Anything being played on your PC with be equalized when using APO, which was exactly what I needed for using Spotify. But it's also fun to use with YouTube.

Any Mac users here? My HP amps are all in line and while I found an EQ system that works - Audio  Hijack lets me run system audio through virtually all my VSTs, Even  though I primarily stick with iZotope Ozone.
 
But just curious, if there are Mac users and what they use?

 Yes i needed it specifically for Youtube.
 
Is there something even remotely close for portable devices that is not a music player software. Something that will do what APO does for android. I like the variable EQ to tinker with, because well... its more fun

 
I dont EQ on my tablet/phone, like i would via PC, but I WOULD if i had something similar

Reaeq works fine on mac os x but the truth of the matter is the audio unit EQs built into mac os x are actually quite powerful and well designed. Not all EQs are built equally.... Apple's is damn good too.

Do ipods have them built in as well?

Traditional iPods don't have audio units.....
 

 Audio Units (AU) are a system-level plug-in architecture provided by Core Audio in Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems. 

... and I don't have an iPhone to test

Hmmm...I have an old laptop running WIN8, 32 bit, and I installed Foobar, and reaEQ, and it works perfectly, but it will not work on desktop with WIN10, 64 bit.

Try the 32-bit / x86 version of the program. It should work.

Hmm, couldn't find that for Mac, ReaPlugs? Got a link?  
 
Are you talking about AU Labs for mac?  I mean it's a VST/AU host which allows you to use mac's EQs which, as you said, are indeed pretty powerful.  I actually hate AU Labs because it requires some weird hoops using Soundflower to route system audio and as a host, it can crash.
 
BUT Audio HiJack, which i LOVE, allows for apple's audio units too.
 
Truth be told, half the time, I just use iTunes or Vox's EQ and it works pretty well.  Vox may actually trump itune's EQ.

​Of Foobar or reaEQ?  I have tried both versions of reaEQ. I only find one version of Foobar to download.

You either need a vst wrapper for your player or a player that supports vst plugins...

(You may need an emulator or virtual operating system, since it does not seem to support Mac.)

I assumed he already did that, but if he tried both versions and they didn't work, maybe he did forget to take care of the VST compatibility with foobar2000 on that PC.

  Here is a picture of my main EQ preset I use with my SZ2000's. I have many different presets, but I use this the most as it sounds best with my favorite genres of music (hip-hop/EDM). This preset also generates maximum impact, and pairs nicely with my iFi iDSD. What you don't see is that I have the preamp turned all the way down, to -12db.
 
I use Equalify Pro for EQ duties as I'm a dedicated Spotify premium user. I've really grown to love that program, it's super easy to use and very versatile. 
 
And boy are you correct when you say the SZ2K is extremely EQ friendly. Out of the box I wasn't all that impressed with their overall sound quality, but when heavily EQ's they transform into very respectable sounding cans. And obviously you really need to bring the heavy bass boost if you want to experience what these cans can really do in the bass department. 

  Alright, here we go. I'll list them out for you starting with HZ, gain, then bandwidth.

 
Hey. Yesterday I used your EQ settings for a few hours. They're pretty good for general listening.
 
Here's what your settings look like in a really nice $200+ equalizer:
 

 
My own preferences for the SZ2000 involve much crazier bass and more forward mids. Basically an audiophile tuning aside from the bass.

yeeeaah  I'll probably just stick to audio hijack, ha, I really have no complaints with it but you know, most of the people on here are PC users I think and they're always post slick looking EQs and I just want that candy too. Weird though, it actually took. me a really long time to  figure out how to run my very juicy VSTs and AUs in real time. PC definitely isn't the wiener in that department

Awesome, glad you tried them out. That equalizer looks very nice!
 
I have multiple EQ presets for my SZ2K's, that just happens to be my most used. But even with those settings I can get the SZ's to maximum impact level while listening, but I do like to listen very loud at times which was why the bass wasn't tuned up higher. I also use hardware bass boost on my amplifier paired with the EQ settings.
