RME also has EQ . This can surely be to your advantage with historical recordings . Don't assume that recordings are perfectly balanced they did what they could with the limitations they had to deal with . You cant fix everything but if the spectral balance is way of to bright or to dull you sure can do something .
This is also historical bagage from high end hifi , no tone controls ? with modern digital equipment there is no penalty having them if you don't use RME's PEQ function its simply not there no loss and if in use the EQ is "perfect" in that it does it's job but no more.
