  Is anyone aware of a 2 plus channel 1/3 Octave EQ with spectrum analyzer.
  It would be desirable to have both analog and digital inputs and outputs
  and I would prefer digital rather than analog internal circuitry.

I've just been looking at this sort of thing, mostly pro (analog)
gear.  [I've never seen a dedicated digital EQ, but all of the fancy
dsp gadgets can do EQ.]  My local pro store is running a sale on Rane,
and I'm tempted to buy their 1/3 oct eq.  They come one channel at a
time, but that means you can buy one channel with spectrum analyzer
(pink noise, callibrated mic, etc.) for ~$400 and one without (~$280?
I forget).  They also sell a two channel, 2/3 octave beast for about
$450.  If you want more info, send email & I'll try to remember to
bring the model numbers, specs etc.  Also have nice parametrics on
sale.

BTW, one of the good things about the Ranes is that you can switch
between active +- 12(?)db, and passive 20db cut only modes.
