The built-in rock equalizer sounds kinnda off with my recent headphones, I just got the Moondrop Starfield IEMs and I really want to tune the eq as best as I can for it, I listen to bands like Linkin Park, Architects some MGK (which is like, different genre every album) etc.

Thank you.

@flyingdutchman you dont need to download anything. Navigate to the "results" folder, then use CTRL+F (or "Find in page" if on mobile) to type in your headphone model. You should see a "Fixed Band EQs" field. You can simply copy the gains from that into a Poweramp eq profile.

@coolguy ok, finally did as you suggested , but when importing in Poweramp, I can find the correct files but these are .txt and are not available for import. I guess I need the "Creative Outlier Air ParametricEQ.txt. Is is the intention that I adjust the bands manually?

I think the values are being manually input, just following the profiles downloaded.

But I believe this is a very personal adjustment. Even if the headphones are identical, every device has different hardware. So the results will always vary. Like a skin, i would start with a flat response, and make minor adjustments as necessary to get the sound you want.

@MotleyG thanks, entering a few profiles now. I discovered that by pressing the text labels, you can enter new values but I guess I am on the same journey as other Poweramp afficionados

Thank you.

I use already available profiles or download some from the internet. Then just tune it myself.

The .txt file can be imported now, but you currently have to download it from the AutoEQ site yourself.

ok, found it finally by reading the release notes carefully. By long pressing a preset the dialog appears. Not the most intuitive way to import though but once you know ....

pretty amazing . Simply looking at the profile on the left gives you an idea of the preset effect
