Hmm... you can EQ any frequency you want with EqualizerAPO. If you use Configuration Editor just pick filter type and then set the (cut-off/center) frequency and other settings (Q/BW, Gain). If you use GraphicEQ, be aware that it maybe is different type EQ compared to Audeze EQ yoiu mentioned. You can also write those filters manually int config.txt (or other name file if you include it to config.txt). Assuming Audeze EQ uses Peaking IIR filters, just add peaking filter with suitable settings. Filter:...

If the issue becomes after short silence period in audio stream, it may come from power saving management (i.e. USB goes to sleep mode and un-connects the dongle). IIRC, there were similar issues with some USB audio devices which used windows own USB audio drivers (i.e. device did not have any native drivers from manufacturer). Check if turning off USB power management helps anything. As turning the Preamp dial updates configuration file(s) it could be that there's some error situation ongoing when...

IIRC, Windows has build-in limiter which kicks in @ -0.14 dBFS ... this should prevent clipping in output but also decreases quality (quality loss may have been fixed then later versions of windows). Of course you can clip audio before output by increasing its level above 1 (0dBFS) with Preamp: command or with filters which allows gain adjusting. Also can clipping be present in your source audio (you find this information by loading audio file in audio-editor and see if there are flat parts reaching...

Are those values taken from GraphicEQ? miniDSP supports FIR filters so, you have the coefficients there already. You need some math to convert the dB to linear https://www.redcrab-software.com/en/Calculator/Electrics/Decibel-Factor and then find coefficient locations https://docs.minidsp.com/product-manuals/2x4-hd/dsp-reference/fir-filtering.html#fir-filtering-overview in manual input on miniDSP control software. Alternatively, EqualizeAPO package's Benchmark utility saves your active EQ to an impulse...

De-esser software needs audio data go through to find those sibilance sounds. My guess is that as audio does not go through Configuration Editor, where the preset is prepared and saved for to use by EqualizerAPO equalization service, some value(s) is not initialized with a proper value (usually it is left zero) which then mutes the audio (maybe crashes as well). You could try prepare chunk data from your De-esser usink some other software and then copy-paste the chunk string to config.txt (when you...

Probably because of no audio signal in Configuration Editor = if plug-in needs audio signal to set some parameters you'll end-up zero values in preset data which then results silence when EqualizerAPO .dll reads in the preset data. If this is the case then nothing to do ATM (though, you could save the preset data chunk using some other software and then copy-paste it directly to config.txt but, you'd loose preset if you open the plug-in in Configuration Editor). Adding audio signal go to Configuration...

Hmm... I quicly prepared a preset converter between EqualizerAPO and FabFilter-Q Pro 4. Just basic filters ATM and Ive had some issues when loading the generated .ffp -preset file which looks OK but, ... somehow FabFilter-Q changes Q values weirdly? Have to examine this if there are some filter type related on going (have to save different filter types with few Q values each. Fortunately v. 4 preset file type is plain ASCII . Still have to do some features like BW/oct to Q conversion as FabFilter-Q...
