I down loaded the Demo and so far, it sounds very very good. It sure ad's no color at ALL and come surgery time, it might be the ticket.
I heard the URS stuff a few sessions ago up close and they were great mixing eq's. Some of them had real charm and you could hear them change things just being in the path. Which is more hardwareish.
This sounds real good.I'll have more later.
The free demo is 10 days so I'll tinker around with it. The first thing I did was listen to the high and low shelves. Wow, they really work great.
Best in the world? for what? EQ's are so subjective for many uses like a vocal. There are any number of EQ's that are best in the world and some of them are on cheap ass chipped consoles. Who knows right?
But a Hoax? No, very nice EQ on first glance.
My 2 cents
