To start with, understand that we are using single precision floating point numbers. Even though the GUI doesn’t show the values you enter beyond 2 to 4 decimals, it stores 17 decimal places precise to the 7th with the 8th rounded off stored in a JSON file. So ENTER THESE VALUES PRECISELY. Even the zeros. This is crucial.
🎧
//Pro-Tip: Dont use the dials & sliders. Rather, Long Press on the value you want to change & you can manually enter the numbers with floating point precision! //

Filters =
HP : High Pass
LP: Low Pass
PB: Peaking Band
BP: Band Pass
HS: High Shelf
LS: Low Shelf
The hearts “ 💛🔴💚💙⚫💜” represent the Foundational Frequency the band is related to. The first six Frequencies “ 20, 24, 27, 30, 32, 36" are the foundation. They cover the entire spectrum from 20Hz to 24000Hz via Octave Doubling & Logarithmic Spacing.
For example, a yellow heart 💛 represents that 20Hz is the Octave series the corresponding Frequency band is in follows which in this case would be 40Hz, 80Hz, 160Hz, 320Hz, 640Hz, 1280Hz”
Furthermore, squares 🟥 represent that the frequency is a perfect square. Circles ⚫ represent the frequency is a perfect cube.
The Red flag 🚩is the Harmonic Mean, the White Flag 🏳️is the key Frequency I built this around , & the Black Flag🏴 is the Arithmetic Average. “Or 🚩144, 🏳️432, 🏴4096"
Finally, The musical note associated with the frequency is listed along with the Octave Series value. 432Hz is the reference tone.

Notice the patterns. The left & right side of the spectrum are symmetrical. There’s a pattern in the Q Values too as well as the gain. The Gains are in a 3:2 ratio with the frequency in questions sub Octave & Octave. For example if 40Hz is 6.0dB , 20Hz & 80Hz is 4.0dB. Every value follows this pattern. The Q values are derived with fixed point numbers, e, π, square roots, phi, The Harmonic Mean, Logarithmic scaling, etc & are related to the Frequencies Amplitude Ratio. The Formula is listed above under the Harmonic Mean 32 decimal Value. All Numbers are Floating point Numbers & when possible divisible by 8.

~~~~~For further Enhancements Install SoundID by SonarWorks from the Play store.
Then Take the full hearing test and create a sound profile from the results. This will be applied to the signal after it goes through PowerAmp & PowerAmp Equalizer & Enhance the sound quality based off of your sound profile from the hearing test which targets Frequencies you have a degree hearing loss in. ..
Also, if this current setup sounds to quiet for you or if you prefer loudness to dynamic range you can customize your sound profile with these Settings listed below, designed to increase the perceived loudness & bass at the expense of some dynamic range. This may be desirable for certain genre’s like hip-hop or some EDM genre’s. . . In the notifications panel there will be a persistent notification with a toggle switch so you can switch back & forth between the two settings.

~~~~~Do the same for last.fm, pano scrobbler, improved, Genius, etc
🎧
~~~~~~~Rather Than using Mp3 files , use .Flac lossless with a high bit rate as this makes a monumental improvement in sound quality & the listening experience. Ideally 24 bit / 96kHz flac , ape or wav is best considering size etc… 32 bit 192 or higher WavPak is the best but very large. RuTracker.org has high quality files.
🎧
🎧
~~~~~~uTorrent "unlocked version from getmodsapk.com" allows access to.flac & .wav files . Use a VPN. Alternatively Libretorrent offers better service. Opera Browser has a built in VPN that works well with uTorrent or LibreTorrent. Libretorrent is available in the Drive link posted below.
🎧
~~~~~SoundBound on the Play store or "Shabinder on GitHub" allows you to convert Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Deezer etc to Mp3 files
🎧
~~~~~Also If you want to make a Continuous DJ Mix from your favorite songs & remaster them you can download FL Studio and do just that. Ask Chat-GPT4o how to do it or Google it.
🎧
~~~~~As far as the Visulation .milk presets go, you have to go to settings and Disable your default file explorer usually "files" or "files by Google" then download FV File Explorer from the play store, install & enable all permissions then open the file explorer, click "new window" in the top right corner, then go to recent apps screen " square bottom button" then push the split screen button and select the new window of the file explorer... You should now have 2 file explorer open in split screen....
On the top one, go to Internal storage/ Android/ Data/ com.maxmpz.audioplayer / milk_presets and leave that file open.
On the bottom screen, locate the .milk files you downloaded from winamp forums "probably downloads" and drag and drop them into the file "milk_presets" above.
Now go to Visualization settings in PowerAmp and rescan the folder and your presets should appear in the list on the top of the main screen now.
I’ll link the guide to enabling dump settings at a later date as I have to locate it & it’s not that important for most scenarios.
🎧
~~~~~Disabling Wi-Fi often improves the quality of audio over Bluetooth.
🎧
🎧
Wired OverEar Headphones are best preferably with 50mm or greater Neodymium drivers.
Also disabling or closing any other unnecessary Applications can improve performance as well. It all adds up. Furthermore, Ensuring the acoustics of your listening environment are ideal helps. Thing’s like fans, Air Conditioners etc introduce 60Hz interference & it’s Harmonics like 120Hz & 240Hz. Charging the device while listening can introduce ground interference too. Also Bluetooth, wi-fi, cellular & GPS can interfere.
Finally, restart your device and enable the PowerAmp Equalizer app first by opening it and wait 2 or 3 minutes Then start the PowerAmp Audio player and play music. I don’t know why this Improves it but it does.
Anyways, Enjoy.

Where 0.92... is the 2 Pre-Amps subtracted from each other... I then multiply this value by 3 to get the Bass & by 2 to get the treble for overall Tone settings. There’s a method to the madness. Just watch the spectrum analyzer dance symmetrically.

A link to my Google Drive PowerAmp Folder is available below at the very bottom in Bold. It has Everything. All the settings Preconfigured, all the software, libretorrent, .milk Visulations, notes, etc.

Note: In The Future I Plan On Integrating Viper4Android Into This Setup & Optimizing It for a pair of affordable Sennheiser headphones & a good DAC… I’m Thinking These will be best:
Sennheiser HD 599 Open Back Headphones
And
Fosi Audio DS1 DAC
