New on the forum and already in need of help

[Myashi]

Hello,
I'm Myashi from Italy.
I'm not an audiophile, I'm just a guy on the net, who like listening music from 60's to mid 90's, watching movies tv/series and playing videogames.
All of this hobbies have in common one thing: the sound. As a person who appreciates, listening things with a good headset (Bayerdynamic DT 700 Pro) connected to a Fiio EK10,
I'm always searching for good apps, to enhance the sound. Today I was "trying" to give a shot at Equalizer APO, that seems to require REW. I never heard any of it before today.
Following a guide for EQ APO, I was trying to make REW works. But I'm getting from hours all kind of error pop-ups.
I didn't mean to join the forum to bother ya'll with my newbie help request, but I can't think to anything else, since the written guides of REW, makes no sense to me.
I'm going to write a thread in the support section. Sorry

This post should help:

REW and Equalizer APO

It appears that the software Equalizer APO (1.2) can make use of a filter file. It comes with a standard file that provides for a modest amount of bass boost. REW can save eq filter files of different types, is there any way to create such a filter file in REW that EQ APO will read? This...

For my headphones I didn't use REW. I just looked up the EQ settings recommended for my headphones here:

AutoEq/INDEX.md at master · jaakkopasanen/AutoEq · GitHub

I then loaded those into Equalizer APO.

I didn't see your headphone listed in that index though. There are many other Beyerdynamic headphones there, but not yours. Good headphones don't need much correction and you could just adjust the EQ manually to your preference.

For custom or highly accurate EQ settings a specialized test fixture is needed. See this link for background info on testing headphones.

MiniDSP has a low cost test fixture I believe.
