After reading the article about custom equalizer settings to suit individual headphones I set out to try to find a parametric equalizer to work with. After searching head-fi, KVR, and google I have yet to find something suitable.
I'm running OS 10.5.7 on an iMac (Intel). I'm flexible as far as what arrangement I use. Standalone or plug-in, I'm not too picky about what player I use (so long as it offers bit-perfect playback and supports ALAC files- though if I had to I could convert the files.)
I've found a couple plug-in equalizers (both support VST and one supports AU)
KVR: Darrell Tam DtBlkFx - Virtual Effect
KVR: slim slow slider Linear Phase Graphic EQ - Virtual Effect
I know that using Audio Hijack is an option, I was hoping that there was a simpler/cheaper (read: free) option.
I looked into Cog and Songbird, but from what I can tell neither supports plug-ins, am I wrong about that?
So in short,
-is there a media player for MacOS that supports VST or AU plug-ins?
-is there a parametric equalizer for iTunes that I just missed?
-is there a stand-alone parametric equalizer?
I'd prefer free, but if necessary would be willing to spend a little money.
