I am looking into upgrading my headphones and note that EQ is encouraged in various reviews here on ASR. It would certainly open up a lot more cans for me to consider, i.e. those that have been "Recommended (w/EQ)" as well as "Recommended (No EQ)".
I currently run a Logitech Media Server-piCorePlayer setup. pCP has a 10 band ALSA EQ built in which (as far as I know) has fixed freq bands (at 31, 61, 125, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000 anf 16,000Hz). But I see that the Roon screenshots in the reviews seem to show that it allows a bespoke choice of frequencies for adjustment. So, to my questions:
1 - Is the ALSA 10 band system adequate for pulling headphones into shape?
2 - If ALSA is no good, is there a suitable EQ system that can be added into the LMS-pCP environment?
I would prefer to avoid migrating Roon if possible (mainly because I would not be at ease being tied to subscription service to use my own content).
Many thanks.
