The current development of rockbox has added a 5 band parametric equalizer, which may suit you well, as well as cross-feeding (feeding a muted, delayed version of the left channel into the right channel, and vice versa, to simulate stereo speakers while using earphones). Other DSP effects are possible, where they aren't patented, but commercial effects are probably out of rockbox's reach at this point. Rockbox also supports far more audio codecs than iriver's stock firmware, although it doesn't support WMA currently (and will likely never support *protected* WMA) > > I will have a exaustive look soon (this weekend, maybe). > The firmware can dual-boot with iriver's firmware, so playing with it is possible, and worst comes to worst, if you reflash your unit with an unmodified firmware, rockbox will no longer boot.
