EQ Software for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS/iPadOS and Android.

[Doodski]

Yes, but each platform has different features. For example, AU's can only be built on Mac. I can answer questions about any specifics.
Full disclosure, I'm a developer at MathWorks for the Audio Toolbox (and DSP).

Do they all have a EQ or PEQ?

What a difference EQ makes on SHP 9500. I really liked these headphones for the comfort, but I was missing the bass. Bought the Neutrino Player just for the EQ feature (cheaper than buying Qudelix-5K which I'd pick if I were buying now instead of Fiio BTR3). Although not loving the interface overall, Neutrino makes it easy to switch between different equalizer profiles (have three for my headphones, and one for my speakers). Once I got it figured out it's not too cumbersome, only downside is that I have to use my phone and Neutrino to play through, which I was doing most of the time anyway.

EQ rescued an IEM for me recently, and even a simple graphic EQ was capable of it, although, of course, parametric EQ is more precise.

Yes, multiband parametric EQ and graphic EQ among others. These can be exported as audio plugins.

@Jim777 how does this work? To have these links for Windows, Linux and MacOS. So I can just copy/paste or is each download page different?>

MathWorks has an Audio Toolbox that can produce or host audio plugins. So you can deploy your own VST, AU or standalone plugins directly from MATLAB code.

Hi,
What about Rephase ... which propose both filter linearisation + Paragraphic Phase and Paragraphic Gain EQ?
Optimal work with REW

Thread promoted to home page. Thanks for doing this @Doodski.

Added to the Windows section. Thankssss

the Calf plugin suite is a very well known one: https://calf-studio-gear.org/
the LSP one is more recent (actively developed) and more advanced imo: https://lsp-plug.in/

both suites have stand alone versions for the plugins

Okidoki. Thank you for those links. I added them to the Linux section.

There might be some more Android apps posted in a previous thread.

Thanks for the heads up. I got all those bad boyZ nearly as soon as the thread was initially being filled.

Further pedantry - the operating system for Apple desktop devices is officially called "macOS" rather than Mac OS, etc.

"Apple shortened the name to "OS X" in 2012 and then changed it to "macOS" in 2016, adopting the nomenclature that they were using for their other operating systems, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS."

I know how it goes, I was stuck on OS X for the longest time.

Changes duly noted Thanks muchO...

Chromecast ( sort of )
Run CastReceiver app on an Android tablet or phone and use in place of a real Chromecast. Now cast to that device as you would normally whilst also using one of the Android eq apps already mentioned. Connect a dac over USB and you have a low cost streamer with EQ.

I'm not sure your EQ suggestion fits into the thread's version of integrating a EQ. I did include media players with PEQ/EQ into the thread although I think your's is outside the scope of this thread. There have been multiple suggestions regarding EQ/PEQ stuff and it makes one wonder if the EQ thread could be more comprehensive in it's scope. Between color coding links and wanting columned selectable indexing I'm still not sure we have enough to warrant that sophistication that also requires specialized people to operate the data entry.

Fair enough. I guess it is a bit off topic. Just wanted to share a way of enabling those Android EQ apps you listed with Chromecast. Maybe a bit of a niche use case but I had found it frustrating not to be able to do that.

Thanks @Doodski, just installed DSP for Volumio (using rePhase for filters) and it works like a charm. Make it easy with all the alternatives laid out for you.

Mac actually has many types of DSP built-in to its OS: 31-band, parametric, peakings, shelfing, various types of reverb, you name it. These are all free. However, the user needs a hosting application to access these EQ interfaces, and hosting softwares on Mac typically are not free.

Right now I am using Audirvana and Audiohijack. Audirvana can do bit-perfect and exclusive access but can't do system level hosting. Audiohijack can host system level DSP, including those EQs. The only downside is that isn't "bit-perfect" if you care about that.

I recommend Audiohijack.

What do you mean by hosting? Right now I'm using Audirvana and starting to acquient myself REW, if I'm able to wrap my monkey brain around it, I'd like to implement corrections for my room & speaker. https://audirvana.com/vst-3-plugins-and-audio-units/ Much to learn.

The link you found pretty much covers it. You should be able to get this right.
