“EQ. Because life’s too short.”

And because wanting to listen to the same phones out of multiple rigs is asking for too much :))

I’ve spent far too much time trying to figure out portable EQ solutions:

-iPhone apps are restricted to your music library
-Android requires rooting and depends on a few other factors
-Windows + HDMI dongle PC + external battery. Requires some fenaggling to make it system wide but the plugins are good (EDIT: and a USB I/O soundcard)
-MacOS has good options for system wide and the same good plugins

-minidsp nanodigi + external smartphone battery + hifimediy usb to optical dongle, but needs computer based software to configure
-minidsp portable headphone amp. Haven’t seen any impressions, is $500, offers a super low output power, and again needs computer software

-RME ADI2 DAC/PRO + external laptop battery, is bulky, DSP only applies to the analogue outputs so you can only use it’s internal DAC

You said it, I've been trying to look for something decent going on years now I think. Actual mods are just easier in a way, but not sure how to address this one, haha
