Upgraded stereo settings

nickm9 has a point, but I posted these settings because they did the best job for me the best all around performance across a wide range of genres and recordings. One may like a lot of bass in their music, but that does not mean that the music was mixed to be heard that way. I set the EQ to give me the closest sound quality to my studio monitor speakers with a bit of additional bass, as studio monitors are usually meant to deliver such a crisp sound that that they virtually ignore bass.

I like the midrange "zeroed out" or more neutral.

That will result in vocals feeling like they're struggling to compete against music in most rock and pop tunes.

To my understanding there are three sound options the basic, hi-fi, and premium . So my question is there any settings for the HI-FI option? Now it's obvious that the basic doesn't have it. And that the premium does.
