If I listened to music via ear buds most of the time, I wouldn’t bother with this app. But I don’t- as an audiophile and owner of a sound reinforcement company, I listen to music on a macro level, and that’s where this application shines. No app I have tried before or since can match its performance (Android version). If you disagree, that’s fine with me- presuming of course before passing judgment on the app, you:
1. Knew what a parametric EQ was, or how it differs from a standard EQ;
2. Used a spectrum analyzer and sine sweep/white/pink test tones to establish a baseline for your listening environment;
3. Used a FLAC file or other loss-less media file as source material;
4. Listen to your music on hi-fidelity, hi-powered sound systems, either at home or in your car
If you did all the above and still think there’s a better app, well then… I’m all ears!
