Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq?

My listening room is of awful dimensions (close to 1 x 2 x 4) and I've used treatments and bass traps to get the imaging and bass response to be very good. Yet there are some frequencies especially in the mid-bass that are very loud compared to everything else. I was considering buying a Behringer DEQ2496 after hearing rave reviews of what it can do in a home listening environment. Then I found out that the SPDIF I/O is optical and that threw a wrench into that plan. What I need is either a very good digital eq that uses RCA SPDIF or a very good analog PEQ. Any suggestions?

Yes if you love music that runs through one it is an audiophile's parametric equalizer. There simply aren't any rules in this hobby. No standards commision demanding that if something is to be granted the name audiophile it must meet the following criteria. For that matter anything that makes music that the listener loves is by definition audiophile. I don't agree with them much of time but its their party. I am not the sole arbiter of good vs bad. Is anybody's opinion better than someone else's who listens to music?
