How do you EQ your headphones?

Hi. Chris from California here. I am just about to turn 70 and have no major hearing problems. That being said, I know I haven't taken extra measures to protect what hearing I have and have done my "rock 'n roll" bit when I was younger. I EQ all of my listening through speakers and headphones using a Schiit Loki and find that with this little box I can make my listening experience a more enjoyable one for me. When I read and research possible new headphones to acquire, I do take the reviews knowing this. I have 3 planar-magnetic and 7 dynamic-type headphones and enjoy them all for their differences. I wondered if others EQ their headphones using a device or software or if they feel doing so is heresy?

I have EQ’ed my RAAL SR1a headphones with the new Convolution filter from Acoustic Sounds. This filter runs on ROON (and others) and is used for digital streaming only.

I do not think they have the filter up on the web site yet. I believe the plan for them is to do other headphones with Convolution filters. The RAAL filter cost $250.

I am listening to the new David Bowie live release, I’m Only Dancing (The Soul Tour 74), on the RAAL with this filter. I love this filter. It has made a brilliant but difficult drive headphones work perfectly with all the gear I have. This was not the case before the filter.
