• Graphic: 5-32 bands, including ISO 10, 15 and 31-band layouts
• Biquad filters with 64-bit coefficients and state

• Assign presets to Wired, Speaker, Bluetooth, USB, Chromecast or Other
• Assign a preset to a specific device, which overrides its output's preset
• Per-song presets override both
• 20,500+ built-in AutoEq presets for 7,200+ headphone models
• A matching AutoEq preset is suggested when a Bluetooth or USB device connects

• Bass: 20-250 Hz, 90 Hz by default
• Treble: 5-15 kHz, 10 kHz by default
• Adjustable Q 0.1-2.0
• Boost up to +22.5 dB bass and +15 dB treble
• Smooth Tone Gains lowers the boost near max volume to avoid overload

• Shown in the Audio Info dialog
• Fidelity rates the whole chain: source file, processing, device and output
• It rewards bit-perfect output and matching sample rates and bit depths
• It penalizes device downsampling, 44.1k/48k family mismatch and bit reduction
• DSP counts the processing: EQ bands, AutoEq, limiter, dither, ReplayGain, DSD Remastering and the 64-bit pipeline

• Peak limiter linked across both channels, threshold 0 dBFS
• The Limit button lights up while the limiter is reducing the gain
• The highlight is delayed by the output latency, so it matches what you hear
• Updated 10 times a second and held for at least 150 ms

Poweramp's own USB audio driver, which bypasses the Android audio system completely
