Is your feature request related to a problem?
I really enjoy using Pixel Player because of its clean UI, folder browsing, and gapless playback, but the built-in 10-band equalizer feels a bit too limiting for detailed audio tuning. When trying to get the most out of specific IEMs or TWS earbuds—like taming a harsh treble peak, enhancing instrument separation, or widening the soundstage on high-quality lossless files—a standard graphic EQ just doesn't offer enough precision. You can't target specific frequencies, and you can't adjust how wide or narrow the adjustment should be.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be absolutely amazing to have a full Parametric Equalizer (PEQ) implemented in the app, very similar to the one found in Poweramp. Instead of fixed bands, users should be able to pinpoint exact frequencies, adjust the gain, and tweak the Q-factor (bandwidth). For example, it would allow users to dial in a precise adjustment at exactly 4.2kHz rather than being stuck adjusting a broad 4kHz slider. It would also be incredibly helpful to include a feature to save, import, and export custom PEQ presets.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I currently have to rely on third-party, system-wide equalizer apps running in the background. While this works temporarily, it's not ideal because those apps can drain the battery or randomly get killed by the phone's memory management. Another alternative would be upgrading the built-in EQ to a much higher band count, like a 15-band or 31-band graphic equalizer similar to what Musicolet offers. While having more bands is definitely a step up from a standard 5 or 10-band setup, it still lacks the surgical precision of a true PEQ. Graphic EQs have fixed frequency points, meaning you still can't adjust the Q-factor (bandwidth) to target very specific frequency peaks or dips perfectly. This precision is absolutely crucial when you want to fine-tune specific IEMs or TWS earbuds to maximize soundstage and instrument separation on lossless tracks.
