Should Equalizers make a comeback?


Some like warm, some like bright, some like neutral. Should hardware equalizers make a comeback? Basically aren't Marantz and Rotel amps just rolled off a tiny bit in upper end? In the recording world, you can buy a one box Focusrite mic preamp emulator that seeks to recreate the classics from the past (I'm sure it lacks in pure sound quality from the originals). Would something like this work for audiophiles?

I enjoyed ths lights...lol.But I did like using it to play around with ,and toy with the sound.
I just picked up the RME adi-2 DAC and it has a great 5 band PEQ, tone controls, and loudness.    I usually run it no EQ and it sounds great but at lower volume and non critical listening the Loudness contour is  awesome. It is adjustable too with respect to dB level for bass and treble and the point on the volume scale that it tapers off.   

This DAC is incredible for the money 
Maybe it's the quality of tone controls or EQ.  Every studio uses EQ during the recording, mix and mastering.
