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?

Tact 2.2x - you get a good calibrated microphone (of course you can spend more) You can also save different EQ's for different type of recordings and I use it to tame harsh recording of music that I love but can't bear to listen to normally on my good rig.

Good suggestions and definitely audiophile quality but unfortunately out of my price range. Is there anything in the several hundred dollar range? I'm thinking if I could notch out 3 or 4 trouble frequencies, I'd be set as long as the clarity of everything else was preserved.
