Hi,If you compare an AES/EBU (or S/P-DIF) connection to a I2S connection the I2S connection will always win. However, you will never get a Digital EQ or Room Correction System with I2S inputs and outputs as there is no common I2S standard.
I doubt that other Digital EQ's have much better implementations of the I/O system, as effectively only one manufacturer makes the needed interface chips and they are used by all manufactuerers (namely the cirrus logic parts under the crystal brand). The Crystal parts are pretty had to implement badly, so I doubt Behringer nade something much worse than others....
You should perhaps invest into a db technologies, Weiss or Chord DAC, all of which strip the jitter out after the receiver by using a RAM Buffer and are also said to eliminate the sonic difference between Digital Cables and Transports.
As to "sucking life out of the music".... I have demonstrated repeatedly the difference with the Behringer in Circuit (analogue inputs) and doing nothing (flat EQ) and the unit bypassed (simply plug the XLR Input/Output cables together. The difference between in/out is absolutely minimal and even under sighted conditions impossible to accuratly catch.
When you equalise problems in the room/speaker system out you will alter the character of the sound. The result may be that when a certain technical flaw is correct which previously artifically injected "life" the sound will appear "flat". This is simply a question of understanding what equalisers do and use them to achieve what you want.
As for overload, if your digital signal has peaks of 0dbfs and you boost a given band by 6db than you need to attenuate the master by 6db or you will attemp to provide an output of 6db above the maximum possible.
I will repeat, if used correctly the Behringer is "good enough" in almost all systems. It can benefit from electronic modifications, sure and can be bettered, but not much.
