Root New DSP Manager or Otherwise

Using CM7 Reloaded I have played around with the audio quality a lot. I've flashed the Beats Audio files and found they do improve the sound quality if ever so slightly. The only problem is with the onboard DSP sound manager. If I use its bass boost at all (which I do to produce nice bass-y music), then it seems to distort the sound tremendously.

On the other hand, when using the Equalizer app by Smart Android Apps (I think?) the bass boost works much more clearly and sounds nice. I have to freeze DSP using link2sd so it doesn't keep force closing of course. The problem is that it applies the effects of the eg which I have set louder to accommodate for our volume bug and the bass boost to the speaker as well, unlike DSP where you can set them seperately.

Anyone know of a way to get the best of both?
