I'd find it incredibly hard to believe that there's not a software EQ out there that's top notch, expecially when many recording studios are going to software.
Well I know there's top notch software out there, but I think what makes it top notch isn't its eq ability but rather its ability to interface with different db and RTA meters, and the calculations it can do based on the information gathered from those devices.
I'll do a little more research today if I find some time, but it seems reasonable to deduct that external active eq's far surpass those that are software based and come at much lower price. None-the-less, the ability to make suitable corrections to the response curve with a software based eq would be great.
