  1. Out of all Android equalizers I've tried, Poweramp EQ is the best one. Just like my new headphones, it combines unmatched technical advancement with convenient user experience. Poweramp EQ deserves every cent paid for it. It could be even better. There is a feature I would like to suggest: control over subsonic frequencies in the parametric EQ. Why calibrate sub-20 hz frequencies in the parametric EQ even if we don't hear them? 1. You can still feel them and many users would love to have the control over this feeling Feeling sound is integral part of listener experience. It makes you feel as if it adds some "movement" to the music. Getting a back massage from car's subwoofer, experiencing wind and pressure from acoustics in your local cinema or - if you have ever attended a catholic church - feeling the floor shake in response to organ's lowest notes always produces an unforgettable impression. You have definitely tested your subwoofer with the title theme from The Dark Knight or the legendary bass check from Hoods Run Down, and if you don't have a sub, you would definitely do it when you get it. Everyone loves feeling the music no less than hearing it. Giving users control over these feelings would make Poweramp even better. And also, some people can really hear them. 2. Adding infrasound frequencies would let use low-Q filters on them, which may contol audible frequencies in ways currently not possible in the parametric EQ, which is crucial for fine-grained control over some audio This is the main reason why I created this post. Many audio systems, especially open-back headphones, are not capable of producing sub-bass at the same volume as the rest of their frequency range. It can be fixed with EQ, but in some cases it is very difficult or even impossible with the parametric EQ of Poweramp, because fine-grained control over these frequencies requires low-Q filters in the infrasound range, where they cannot be placed. Take my headphones as example. I use Axelvox HD241, which are a clone of Superlux HD688B, which are a replica of some budget AKG model. To my ear, their response in the bass range is absolutely flat down to 30 hz, and then they start to roll off. I can still feel the thump down to 20 hz and below, but the volume difference is still very easy to notice. Let's fix it with the parametric EQ: I chose the 12 db because the available measurements of these headphones show 12 db decrease between 20 and 30 hz, and 0.8 q because it achieves the exact +12 db gain at 20 hz. But, apparently, this config is bad. Why? Take a look at this: That's right - when equalizing with these settings, the 30 hz frequency (and everything around) gets boosted too, and the volume difference between the 20 and 30 hz remains the same - not to mention that it also elevates volume of frequencies which I would like to have intact. But maybe it is not that bad and I can just try other settings. Let's try the most extreme filter with Q = 12 to avoid interference with frequencies at 30hz and above: The knob is only +1.3, but since the Q is extreme, the actual gain is around +12. Do you think we have solved the problem? Only partly. And we have also introduced other two, one of which is not obvious at all. First of all, volume of frequencies at 30 hz and above is still influenced by these settings. Although less than by the previous settings, it turns some compositions from my playlist (particularly Maul by Kevin Penkin) into horrendous rumbling, which makes me worried for my aesthetic pleasure, health of my ears and lifespan of my headphones. Second, extreme filter settings introduce distortion to the sound. Every EQ I've heard introduces some distortion with extreme EQ settings. Poweramp EQ introduces the least of them, but they are still hearable. I can hear this annoying "zzzz" oscillating saw noise when the Q is too high. It is definitely not clipping because it is also present if I try to reduce the bass, and I can hear actual clipping if I make the volume on my phone too high. Maybe this noise is not heard in the vast majority of the music, but it is still annoying and unsatisfying to think that these settings are not perfect. But okay, we can somehow deal with these two problems if we... simply reduce the volume gain. Why? Because the measurements of these headphones made on reference microphones do not line up with the measurements made with my supreme, objective and unbiased (no) hearing, and, apparently, the +1.3 db with Q = 12 is too high. +0.7 would be enough: When listening to music with these settings, there is no annoying rumbling at around 30 hz, and the volume of 20 and 30 hz is perceived at around the same level. I believe that I can still hear difference in volume when listening to test tones, but I usually listen to music and not test tones. Also, the extreme Q distortion is more difficult to notice now. Do you think that it is the solution? No! I said that we have introduced two new problems. The extreme Q distortion was only one of them. The second is not obvious at all, but it will scare away every perfectionist audiophile like me. Take a close look at this: Do you see what's wrong? The filter that compensates the 20-30 hz roll-off does not sustain the volume of infrasonic frequencies at least at the adjusted volume of 20 hz, and the filter that does it interferes with bass frequencies too much to comfortably listen to music! What if I stump across a recording with infrasonic frequencies and won't be able to feel them (my headphones are apparently capable of reproducing them)? This is just horrible! As a perfectionist audiophile, I feel offended! All the problems listed above can probably be fixed with some eq-jutsu in cascade mode, but doing it is absolutely annoying and time-wasting. The best solution to these problems would be to allow the control over infrasonics in the parametric EQ to use the no-distortion low-Q filters to adjust audible frequencies. It will solve so many problems, holy cow, I can't imagine how happy I will be when the Poweramp developers add this feature. I can't imagine how many users of budget audio would be happy to get this to achieve that perfect sound they could only dream of. And the solution is to implement just one feature. 3. The parametric EQ simply should have subsonic frequencies just because the graphic EQ already has them, and their lack in the parametric EQ makes the app feel incomplete The graphic EQ already has knobs for frequencies below 20 hz. It is just absurd that, for some unbelievable reason, the parametric EQ can't have them too! If you have implemented them in the graphic EQ, why don't implement them in the parametric one? Even if I can't hear any difference between identical settings of graphic and parametric EQ in a blind test, there are at least four problems with the graphic EQ compared to the parametric EQ. Graphic EQ is so less convenient. If I need to add +9 db to everything above 150 hz on a poorly mixed track, the parametric EQ allows to do it with just one knob. If I need to do it in the graphic EQ, I have to adjust each knob 9 db up, and probably have presets made for each corner case. And so on. This adds so much unnecessary overhead. Adjusting lower frequencies in the graphic EQ also influences frequencies around them, which is simply a catastrophe for fine-grained equalization. If you don't believe me - try to play 50 hz tone (or any other tone that your audio is capable of playing) and adjust frequencies around +-5, 10, 15 and 20 hz. The more the gain, the more interference with other frequencies. Adjusting lower frequencies in the graphic EQ too much introduces that annoying oscillating zzzz saw sound about which I wrote in the previous paragraph. Even if I can't distinguish between the graphic and parametric EQ during a blind test, my feelings of a perfectionist audiophile would be still offended. I will never find peace in this world until the parametric EQ will allow users add knobs to control subsonic frequencies. *** I believe this feature is what will make the Poweramp EQ the best mobile EQ in the universe. It will solve SO MANY problems, and it must take around zero time to implement (just set the lowest frequency for the parametric EQ at 5 hz instead of 20). I hope that I convinced the developers to implement this feature and everyone else to vote for it. Thanks.
  2. Hi! I'm using Pixel 7 on Android 14 and have the issue stated in the title. When I press pause and play the same thing is happening: there is a sound for a split second and then it stops, but Spotify keeps on playing, just without any sound being produced. It does not matter whether I use the phone's speaker, external DAC, or a bluetooth device. I tried toggling on/off each of the settings in Known Players -> Spotify, as well as the general DVC toggle and Advanced Player Tracking and unrestricting battery usage setting for both apps. The issue does not occur in other apps (YT, YT Music, Firefox). I will be grateful for any help, as I mostly listen to music on Spotify. Cheers!
  3. Hi, I'm trying to replicate the EQ settings I set up on my phone to my PC through EQ APO. I can copy the bands and their respective db levels easily enough, however I don't really understand how Poweramp's tone controls work. I can see that the dial for both bass and treble goes from 0% to 100% and I can also see the affected frequencies and Q level by holding the Tone button. What I don't understand is how this translates into the band EQ, and furthermore how to replicate this in another EQ (EQ APO in this case). Can it even be replicated on an EQ without tone dials? Music in Poweramp (and Poweramp EQ for that matter) always sounded "richer" to me due to these tone dials and I'd give anything to be able to have the same settings on my PC and car bluetooth receiver. Thank you :)
  4. I've just got a new pair of wireless earbuds. I see that Poweramp has equaliser presets for them, so I thought I'd use that. The thing is, I use the preamp volume setting a lot, for fine volume control. The normal volume control of my phone is often too coarse for what I want. But now, if I alter the preamp volume a little, when the track finishes that gets discarded because Poweramp re-loads the presets for my earbuds (and that includes preamp). Is there a way to load up the presets for my earbuds just once, and NOT reapply them every time the track changes?
  5. Lacks a switch to manually enable/disable The parametric eq Custom bands. Why that switch? Because it allow to verify if actually The band Is well-configured in a More Easy way... Disabling all but enabling one band separately so it can hear it better It Will be an useful feature
  6. First i wanna make some things clear I actually read a different thread relating this and many ppl were saying like "You should not use reverb u should listen as the music artist intended" and i wanna say this to them as much i respect ur opinion but it's not u I'm saying to listen I WANT TO listen my music the way I want so please anyone who's gonna say things like this I don't want ur opinion on how i want to listen MY music.
  7. I use power amp extensively to check mixes on music that I recorded and am mixing, or mixes that I am doing for other people on the side during the mastering process. It would be AMAZING to be able to export the current tone and eq settings of the app to an impulse response file in wav format so I can just drop in the sound that I have dialed in. I can get some pretty great sounds from the app and I'd love to be able to just export the IR and bring it into my DAW. Could you just send a dirac delta or sweep signal internally through all of the audio fx and calculate the IR so it can be loaded into any convolver?
  8. I am using eq, and DVC, though I am wondering if I need to then also enable the limiter. I have applied the appropriate amount of preamp (pregain), so clipping shouldn't be an issue. Should I enable the limiter as a clipping precaution or is it not needed?
  9. i tried switching eq presets after a recent update which came with tons of new presets(i use the graphic eq), after changing the eq, i tried switching to another eq but the eq presets list was empty. i took a peek at the eq settings and realized i couldnt change the eq from graphic to parametric. Build Number: build-967-bundle-play [967004-988edd05] Device Model: SM-J610FN/DS Android Version: 10
  10. Similar to Equalizer APO's implementation.
  11. Hi there, I have a pair of headphones that have an excessive amount of bass and I would like to reduce it. I am not too technically inclined so I do not know how to make a custom EQ preset that makes the headphones have a flatter response. I think it would be a useful feature for the tone controls to have negative values beside the positive (boost) values. All of the amplifiers that I have had over the years have positive and negative values on the tone controls. We already have negative values on the EQ so I believe it will not be hard to implement, and I think many people would find the feature useful considering it is a feature of most amplifier tone controls. Thanks in advance!
  12. Please, add support for AutoEq project, by import GraphicEQ settings. With parametric Eq it's possible to approximate the results but it have to be done manualy. An import option like in the app Wavelet would be great. And, having the option to adjust Bass and treble too(like in parametric eq). This is an example for KZ ZSN Pro X earphones: GraphicEQ: 20 -5.9; 21 -6.0; 22 -6.1; 23 -6.2; 24 -6.3; 26 -6.4; 27 -6.4; 29 -6.5; 30 -6.6; 32 -6.7; 34 -6.8; 36 -6.8; 38 -6.9; 40 -7.0; 43 -7.1; 45 -7.2; 48 -7.4; 50 -7.5; 53 -7.6; 56 -7.8; 59 -7.9; 63 -8.0; 66 -8.2; 70 -8.4; 74 -8.4; 78 -8.5; 83 -8.6; 87 -8.6; 92 -8.6; 97 -8.7; 103 -8.7; 109 -8.8; 115 -8.8; 121 -8.8; 128 -8.8; 136 -8.8; 143 -8.7; 151 -8.7; 160 -8.6; 169 -8.5; 178 -8.4; 188 -8.4; 199 -8.3; 210 -8.2; 222 -8.0; 235 -7.9; 248 -7.7; 262 -7.4; 277 -7.2; 292 -6.9; 309 -6.6; 326 -6.3; 345 -6.0; 364 -5.7; 385 -5.3; 406 -5.0; 429 -4.7; 453 -4.5; 479 -4.1; 506 -3.8; 534 -3.6; 565 -3.3; 596 -3.0; 630 -2.7; 665 -2.5; 703 -2.2; 743 -2.0; 784 -1.7; 829 -1.6; 875 -1.5; 924 -1.5; 977 -1.7; 1032 -1.9; 1090 -2.4; 1151 -2.9; 1216 -3.5; 1284 -4.0; 1357 -4.3; 1433 -4.5; 1514 -4.7; 1599 -4.8; 1689 -5.1; 1784 -5.2; 1885 -5.4; 1991 -5.7; 2103 -6.1; 2221 -6.3; 2347 -6.3; 2479 -5.8; 2618 -4.9; 2766 -3.8; 2921 -2.6; 3086 -1.6; 3260 -0.8; 3443 -0.3; 3637 -0.2; 3842 -0.5; 4058 -1.2; 4287 -2.5; 4528 -4.6; 4783 -6.3; 5052 -7.1; 5337 -6.4; 5637 -4.9; 5955 -3.5; 6290 -2.0; 6644 -1.5; 7018 -3.0; 7414 -4.0; 7831 -4.0; 8272 -3.6; 8738 -3.5; 9230 -3.8; 9749 -4.3; 10298 -4.9; 10878 -5.5; 11490 -6.0; 12137 -6.7; 12821 -7.4; 13543 -8.2; 14305 -9.1; 15110 -10.1; 15961 -11.1; 16860 -12.2; 17809 -13.4; 18812 -14.6; 19871 -15.9 All the settings come with this format.

  13. I encountered a bug with v2 and even v3 on multiple android devices. When connected to a bluetooth device, Poweramp resets my EQ settings each time I change a song or exit Poweramp. The EQ settings are being set to a certain preset that I once set up for a bluetooth device, although I have meanwhile deleted it even. I tried to get rid of the bug by resetting all presets via the option in the preferences and also reinstalled it without success. Help is much appreciated.
  14. I'd like to be able to save the channel balance setting to eq presets, because pretty much every set of earbuds I've owned ends up with a channel imbalance and it's annoying to need to manually adjust the balance every time I switch between them and a different pair of headphones that don't have the issue. If I could save this setting to an eq preset, I could just select the preset I already use with those earbuds and it'd be a lot faster.
  15. So, I'm an audio enthusiast/musician with a few different headphones, DACs and amps. Poweramp is my main music app. But I've always been conflicted with DVC; whether I want to enable or disable it. It seems to have VERY different effects, based on my amps or headphones. For example, my 1000Xm3's sound more bassy and bloated with DVC on. I have to EQ the bass much lower. However, with a full headphone amp and DT 1990's, it sounds very 'shallow' and bright with DVC on. There's no body or bass, but detailed treble. With DVC off, it sounds fuller/more punchy, but also quite muddy. It's a drastic difference. With an underpowered amp/dac, it sounds best with DVC on. It's full and warm, with good treble. Now, there shouldn't be such a big difference. Through my PC with WinAmp, both these amps sound identical (as they should). I'm just so confused. DVC has the opposite effect with different headphones. Is it something about controlling the DAC directly?
  16. Being one of the most feature-rich and user-friendly music player, I wonder if parametric equalizer is possible to add in the future build?
  17. So... either my ears or my headphones have a slight imbalance so that the right is slightly louder than the left. The minimum L/R balance I can do in the EQ is (+-)2% (and even this is a little difficult to reach before it snapping back to 0). But the imbalance is less than 2% (now left side is too loud). Could you add an option to choose more precise values. Perhaps I could double tap the knob to input -0.0125 for -1.25%? Maybe many don't use such precise settings but I would appreciate it.
