The Apple stuff should already be loaded. The AU Parametric EQ and other plug-in options are accessible by going to "audio set-up" within Pure Music. I don't have it in front of me but I believe there are two choices within "audio set-up" with the second choice being "plug-ins."
When you open plug-ins, you will see 14 rows of plug-in options which each row allowing an independent plug-in from one of many preloaded options (including AU Parametric EQ), or other options that you can download from outside of Pure Music. In my case, I have simply determined which frequencies I wanted to adjust and used a separate plug-in for each of those frequencies. Your settings, per each EQ plug-in, consists of frequency (the centerpoint of the correction), Q (the breadth of the correction with 1 being broadest to 20 being narrowest) and dB of cut or gain.
If a person wanted to use this EQ option for room correction, they could take and plot frequency response measurements from their listening location, select and apply EQ adjustments, take additional measurements, and then repeat and modify until the result is a flat response. It can also be used to adjust the sound to meet personal preferences, or for low frequency corrections in the event of boomy bass or incorporate a high quality subwoofer.

That's great information. I've heard of Pure Music being able to use these plug-ins but never bothered to dig deeper. I may have to fire up PM again. I had some bass issues in my small room that have been somewhat resolved with speaker placement but it's still not quite right. I like it at low to modest volume levels at night but at louder listening levels the bass is a little too strong.
In my system, Pure Music sounds best in Memory mode, with upsampling by a factor of two, and through their "Less is More" feature. The handshake with iTunes works here with not problems and is easy to use.
Abe, you may be further along in knowledge than I was, but the linked chart and other informational sites were helpful to me.
