Try SoundSource, you can use any audio plugin with it.

Here I use the N-Band Equalizer (AUNBandEQ) and the Low Shelf Filter (AULowShelfFilter) to equalize my LCD-2, both are from apple and are already installed on the mac by default. Personally, I think the results are great and I have no problems with the sound quality, I love the bass I can get from my Audeze.

Thanks, I will give it a go ! Because I literally refuse to believe anyone enjoys the sound that comes from EQing via the apps I used.

Hahaha I know how you feel, try it and let me know if you need any help.

Also, if you're going to equalize the entire frequency range I recommend that you follow some sort of EQ guide for your LCD-X (oratory1990 usually has some interesting guides, I use one of them here for the LCD-2) and just give the bass an extra boost as you like using the Band Equalizer to pinpoint which frequencies you want or the Low Shelf Filter to give bass a more general gain - I actually use both.

And as the other user said, lower the preamp as well to prevent clipping.

the ifi gear also have something called bass boost which works like magic. I use EQ a lot and can't figure out what iFi does with this bass boost to make it sound so good
