I have successfully integrated MathAudio Room EQ into my Foobar2000 players in both my main stereo and desktop systems. I'm very pleased with the result. The beauty of MA Room EQ for Foobar is that it is free and very easy to use. One-two combo that appeals to this cheap, lazy audiophile.

Unfortunately MA Room EQ for Foobar2000 is useless outside Foobar as one might suppose. Obviously this makes it useless if you need (Windows) system-wide EQ; nowadays this means it can't be used with streaming providers such as Tidal.
