When I was on Windows OS, there's this nifty but insanely powerful program I used as well called Breakaway Audio Enhancer
Breakaway Audio Enhancer

Am I correct that there doesn't appear to be any trial version?

When I used it back in the day, it did have a trial. I don't know if that's still the case. Have since left Windows a long time ago.

Just wanted to leave a note that Vizzdom started working again on macOS > 15.3, maybe even lower... I did not change anything, probably Apple fixed something on their side

Downoladed it, seems interesting as it is free and you can set frequency and bandwidth; you can save some different settings ( i.e. one or more headphones, speakers etc.). Unfortunately as you close the app and open it again it doesn't show the options any more and doesn't work...

Hi @carlo, thank you for checking out the app! There is a new version that is now fully parametric and includes a bug fix for the preset list. You probably have multiple presets with the same name, if you use the new version the presets should show up again Let me know if it works

I'm surprised nobody mentioned EffeTune ( https://frieve-a.github.io/effetune/docs/faq.html ) - imho best alternative for eqapo with real-time multi-band/multi-channel processing, 56 available effects and just insanely low cpu/ram usage - in my case it's 1% cpu and around 500mb of ram for 192khz audio. Very easy to set-up. Below screenshot with effects list.

Must have app for Mac OS: sounddesk.

Routing, EQing and much more. Fair priced, great support, excellent function.

I have downloaded the new version and it seems better than the previous. I saved a couple of presets and one time it didn't show them up at the next opening of the app; then I did the procedure again and in seems keeping! We'll see in the next days. Thanks

Thanks. I'm in the process of converting from PC to a Mac Mini and need something to replace VB-Audio Matrix for mixing multiple inputs / routing to multiple outputs (and even better if I can take care of the PEQ within the same software).

I guess you'll found it.
There's much more to it, low latency cDSP plugins (SoundDesk) and apple plugins like AUSoundIsolation. Fancy stuff you get from the start.
Virtual driver matrix, 'All In One' integration... Works flawless within Logic / Garageband and freshly tested with topping e8x8 Control Center App.
This app alone is a good reason to get a Mac.

My solution is the Schiit Loki+. It's a very effective analogue tone control.

I see no point trying to use digital EQ to set up my headphones, because to me, it's not a set-up-and-leave-it use case.

I use the Loki+ to set the tone I prefer, on the fly, as I listen to each album, and even each track.

Side note: Neutron software music player can bind a specific PEQ profile to any local file folder (eg album). I'm not sure about track-level.

Thank you for checking again and glad that it works better now! Strange that the presets did not show up one time I hope it was just a glitch!

I can confirm that it has been working nicely; I appreciate the flexibility of settings. Just wondering if there is a conversion chart between bandwidth and Q; I know they are inversely proportional but, as most eq settings I find on internet indicate Q, it would be interesting to calculate how to set the bandwidth. Thanks again

Hi Carlo, thank you for letting me know and glad to hear! The bandwidth can be easily calculated from the Q value with this website https://sengpielaudio.com/calculator-bandwidth.htm
The reason why the app uses BW is that the underlying EQ AUNBandEQ is using it!
