[2020-03-14 update]: I have not used this approach for a long time, so I don't know if it's still free and valid. I recommend the BlackHole approach.
Install Sound Siphon. We will use the demo version, which is free and does what we need.
Install AU Labs from Apple. You may need a free Apple Developer Account. To tell you the truth, I can't figure out how to get this.
- try here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/#
- search for AU Labs
- The one found is version 2.2, but I have 2.3. Maybe once installed Software Update will update it. Not sure
Launch Sound Siphon
- Open Sound Siphon prefs.
- Select your output device
- Select your desired sample rate. 44100.00 Hz is standard
- Check Mute on.
We mute Sound Siphon so the sound doesn't play twice; once through AU Labs and once through Sound Siphon.
Launch AU Lab
- Set the input to Sound Siphon
- Set the output to your DAC
- Create Document
Add the equalizer
Save the AU Labs document
Back up the document as AU Labs corrupts it often!
