Poor audio quality on any app but google play music - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to use Poweramp, but the speaker and audio out quality is much lower than with google play music. Beats audio can be enabled or disabled for both of them, no matter the equalizer settings GooglePlayMusic always sounds better one my htc one. Can I do anything to get around this? It says the same songs are being played with the same quality and latency but the difference that's heard is obvious.

Request: Sound Equalizer / Presets

Hi, I know it is annoying to start new threads But I have a request (if possible). Can a Sound Equalizer be ported to the android music player or presets such as Rock, POP, Classic, etc. if not, is there any particular 3rd party Music Player which brings a built-in EQ or Presets?
I did a basic research about this and found nothing helpful. just people who wanted to unload their awful day and bad mood on me. sorry and thank you.
i don't think it is possible with android at the moment....
Need API to allow audio stream manipulation. Same issue as video codecs and why Coreplayer team bailed on trying to port their killer app to Android.
Need direct hardware access for core functions such as audio and video. Anything else would be a stuttery cpu choking mess.
Thank you for your responses, guys. At least now I know I would have to stick to buying my headphones with internal amplifier and/or noise reduction if I want some significant changes in the music sound.

Beats audio profiles

Maybe I'm blind/stupid etc but is there more than one beats audio profile to select, I feel a bit of tweaking could make the onboard speakers sound even better as you can hear it compressing/limiting the freqs it thinks will overdrive the speakers?
Am sure I heard somewhere in a vid stating that you can't change the default Beats Audio Profile & that there is no EQ where you can adjust the SQ?. I maybe wrong though as I don't have the device lol. Try & download a EQ from Playstore & see if that helps?.

[Q] Poweramp giving poor sound quality?

I'm running ViperOne 2.1 ROM with faux123 kernel and I installed Poweramp but the sound quality is inferior to compared to the stock music player or Google Play Music. I tried messing around with the EQ settings and disabling DVC but even then other apps are superior in terms of sound quality, anyone else using Poweramp ever have this issue, if so is there a fix?
I also tried adjusting settings with Beats on and with Beats off but I'm not getting any real results.
Power Amp user here and no such problems
Check the themes section, there is a sound mod zip file that be flashed

+ 1, Another PowerAmp user and I find that the quality remains the same.

sound quality lowers with other music apps

So with or without beats audio, if I'm not using the Google play music app then the sound quality is lowered and no manner of tinkering or equalizer fixes it. I'd like to use poweramp but the speaker quality and headphone quality sounds a lot worse.
PowerAMP has a fully loaded equalizer inside. Disable beats and go play with that to find a sound you like.

What Music Player do you guys use?

I mainly have been using Google Play Music cause of the cool Media Controller that is colored by the album and liked it but others have been using others such as PowerAMP or Samsung Music, etc and wanted to see what you all recommend for music playing and also Samsung Sound Effects such as Surround/Dolby Atmos, Concert Hall, Audio Preset, etc.
Current Config
Player: Google Play Music (cause Album colored Media Controller)

I've been going back and forth between PowerAmp and N7.
So far trying PowerAmp and sounds the same until I switch to this preset.
EQ: Speakers (Loud)
Reverb: Off
Resampler: SoX 99.0%
Output: Hi-Res, Sample 384kHz from 48kHz
Buffer: Normal
DVC: ON
MusicFX: OFF
Any PowerAmp users want to share their profiles or suggest changes to mine?
I just use the stock Samsung Music Player that comes bundled with the Samsung OS. It is pretty good and plays whatever I want. Seeing as I keep all my music stored locally on my microSDcard.
