I do, especially if you define EQ to just mean an altered signal. Along those lines, I have a bass boost in my Black ICE (Jolida) soundstage expander plus the sound soundstage expansion. That goes to the BBE sonic exciter that has low contour and process which adjust bass and treble in a way. Then my amp has bass boost which I use and crossfeed. Sadly I can't live without this processing in my system.

Neutron player has thousands of eq curves for pretty much any model if you want to use classic eq.

I use an original Schiit Loki. A little bass boost really enriches the listening experience. It looks great in the center of my small footprint Schiit Stack.

  Totally agree about the bass boost. I think its a must on headphones. Technically I am adding 3 different boosts of the bass and its awesome. I had some electrostatic earbuds that were ok, and with bass boost pretty much the best bass I have heard on my rig from phones....

    To say that bass boost is a must for all headphones is simply not true. Whether you need bass boost or not depends on the headphones and on your personal preference. Furthermore, adding bass boost with some headphones will produce bass distortion--not what any of us want to hear, I hope...
