What audio filter(s) do you put in your mpv config

Preamble

It's come to the point where some users are asking for audio filters for my frontend, mpc-qt. But ffmpeg comes with ~300 filters, so supporting all of them in gui is practically impossible; I will need to be very picky about what filters I expose and spend development time on if it is to have any chance of success.

I need some feedback on what a good/expected set of mpv audio filters looks like. As I have a good pair of headphones, (Sennheiser HD 558,) I have never felt the need to use any audio filters while using mpv.

What I'd like to know

What audio filters do you use? What order do you put your filters in?

Cheers thanks.

Hi, what do you mean by "audio filters"? can you give some examples?
I personally use VST plugins on my machine to shape audio but this is outisde of mpv.

Example: mpv --af=lavfi-loudnorm

You can see the list by running mpv --af=help

loudnorm filter (from FFmpeg project), especially dynamic default single-pass mode is low quality, dunno why people use it all the time.

Most people doesn't care much about quality, but they even cannot get any useful built-in alternative from mpv.
