Adding boost in the digital domain can be problematic if the boost causes digital clipping , which is a very nasty sound. It's unlikely a 3 db boost will make this happen. Using external dvices is alos problematic in that they tend to change the sound in other ways apart from the eq. I use a Z-sys RDP-1 digtal pre/parametric but also have other devices , the Behringger and a KrK ergo room correction device. I will actually install and try the Inguz , I did so some time ago and havent revisited it. the Pro sound devices like the Beringer require AES connections and going from SPDIF rca to AES requires an adaptor cable , otherwise the behringer is very good in the digital domain and is also a DAC. The KRK ergo takes SPDIF rca or Firewire digital inputs , it is a dac and pre all in one and does room correction too under 500hz , comes with a mic etc. You can read about the Z-sys here http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/rdp1e.html and the Ergo here http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,7685.0.html
