What’s everyone setting their EQ settings on the B&O system to?

I am adjusting the settings for input from USB drive. MP3, WMA files which are compressed and not the best source of material. I find the sound field biased to much toward the center dash speaker. I set the fader to just over the top of back seat head rest. The treble is turned down by more than half from center. The mid-range is down half from center. The sound is too brilliant for my taste. Surround is set ON.

I have played some HD radio which can be much better.
I will note my 2015 Mustang with the "shaker" sound system has the same bias and brilliance. Some one at Ford must like it that way.

Correction - The fader is set to just over the front of the back seat bottom cushion.

Actually sounds pretty good.

I did this and I do think it sounds better.

Dead level, no adjustments on the EQ.
This is what I've learned. All flat, supposed to be the true sound of the instruments and vocals as if you are in the same room.

Adjust to personal preference, it's your ears.
