Behringer DEQ2496 vs. DSP8024 as DAC

I just got a Behringer DSP8024 digital EQ on an impulse and am loving the room correction. I'm using it as a DAC for my HK8550 CD changer. Didn't know what to expect, so I jumped on an eBay bargain rather invest in the reportedly better DEQ2496. I was planning to use it solely for bass correction in my biwired & biamped system, but I'm loving the full-range EQ.

My question is, is the DEQ2496 an audibly better DAC than the DSP8024? Anyone have experience with both? I'm feeding it to Martin Logan Aerius i's through an Adcom GFP-555 and a pair of Adcom GFA-5200s in a 12x19x9 living room at modest listening levels.

Any first-hand info would be much appreciated.
