There are plenty of equalizers out there. I believe adding an equalizer to Phonograph is something I don't want to see. Its job, for me at least, is to be a great Material music player.

A material open-source equalizer as a seperate app (which works with Phonograph) is something I wouldn't mind seeing.

Here's a quote from an article on equalizers by Android Central (which may be relevant) -

For starters, every single equalizer app you can download and install without having a rooted phone is basically the same. They all tap into the Android AudioEffects class to use the Equalizer, BassBoost, Virtualizer, PresetReverb and EnvironmentalReverb derived classes to apply audio effects to a specific instance of an audio session, and system-wide effects to the global audio mix are depreciated and no longer work. This means two very important things — the only differences between all these apps are the user interface and features, and that an equalizer app can't control the sound from more than one app at a time.

Also, if your phone has an inbuilt system equalizer, it will have more control over your audio than a third party EQ.
