Yes, the the DEQ2496 has a real time analyser and will construct a 61 band correction correction curve. For theses functions, you'll need to get a suitable microphone such as the Behringer ECM8000.

Here are the links:
Note that the DEQ2496 has optical (toslink) S/PDIF inputs and outputs, but no coaxial connectors.

I'm planning to get one of these units. Initially I'll probably feed it directly from my Sony SACD player, (RBCD digital, of course), but eventually I'll feed it from USB sound card with a S/PDIF output -- I hope to put my entire collection on HD encoded using Apple Lossless format and organized with iTunes.
