Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

@tshark , yes it’s funny I remember my ole 10 band JVC SEA-1 EQ even though it’s been 35-40 years!

@tattooedtrackman , if you ever feel compelled to cut 10K on a thin recording, try fleshing out the mid bass, upper bass and lower mids instead. Little boosts with those.  Like 60 to 300 hz.  I hate cutting anything unless I have to. 

@tlcocks   Good to know. Thanks. I’m still learning. It’s fun also. 

I use a Schiit LOKIUS in my headphone system and it's very useful in tailoring the sound of each HEADPHONE that I use to my preference.

That comment was not meant to be condescending tl, it is an unfortunate fact of life. Very few systems image near the state of the art or have the level of detail heard in even moderately priced headphones. I lived with such systems for decades. I have heard four systems image at state of the art levels in 60 years. The first one was at age 21, the system of a high school teacher. The funny thing is that he had no idea what he was doing, it was shear luck. That system made my life a lot more expensive searching for that level of performance. 

Imaging is not just right to left differentiation and a false sense of 3 dimensions generated by artificial echo. It is the generation of the space the recording was performed in and the sense that instruments are 3 dimensional objects standing in space. Really large spaces breath at very low frequencies and you have to be able to get down to 18 Hz flat to replicate that. Most systems are lucky to get to 40 Hz flat. Loudspeaker specs are very misleading. What a speaker does at one meter is a whole lot different than what it does at 4 meters in a room. Gunnar Olsen's bass drum should kick you against the rear wall.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnEqnvz7Qkc. What a machine, one of the very best drummers alive, Carmine Appice with style. 

Only one DEQX needed. It is a digital preamplifier with full DSP capability including a four way crossover, room control, EQ and Bass management. It even has a phono stage. Once you know what you are doing you can go anywhere. It is also like cheating. It is a shortcut to a state of the art system.  https://www.deqx.com/products/

Where do you see that the Chord operates on a 104 bit system? The only spec I saw was 32 bits. The processor in the DEQX probably costs as much as the entire Mojo. I can not make a comparison statement because I have never played with a Mojo 2. It certainly does not have near the capability of the DEQX. I doubt anyone would use the Mojo as the preamp in a $150K system. The DEQX will EQ at a resolution of 0.1 Hz via target curves. You draw the frequency response curve you want on a computer and download it to the DEQX. It will overlay the curve on whatever it has to do for room and bass management.
