Which Schitt Audio Equalizer operates as a loudness switch for low level listening


My system consists of the following:

  1. 1. Martin Logan Impressions 11A Hybrid speaker
  2. Bryston 4B3 Cubed amplifier
  3. Bryston BP-19 preamplifier
  4. Chord Qutest (seeking to upgrade to Weiss 204 DAC) 
  5. Streamer Lumin U-2 Mini
  6. Subs -pair of  SVS SB-4000
  7. Seeking to improve low level listening by essentially purchasing a Schitt Lokius 6 band equalizer which will boost bass and treble to improve low level listening, which would operate as a loudness button to some extent. This product sells for $299.00. I would prefer to purchase the Lokius over the Loki Max which sells for $1500.00 and also has 6 bands.  Do you think I am on the right track? For $299.00 the risk of not doing what I am seeking seems small. Thanks for your input and suggestions.

If you always listen at low levels, have you considered turning up your subwoofers?

I have a Lokius. I bought it with the idea of equalizing old vinyl, but after upgrading my vinyl playback system, I didn’t feel that I needed it. I barely used it, but it seemed to work fine. Wasn’t noisy, etc.

I don’t like introducing another component and cable in the chain, but it’s supposed to have a true bypass. My preamp at the time had a tape/eq loop.
