I went with the RME ADI-2 Dac FS because of the built-in EQ. I switch between laptops and streaming services and headphones (open vs closed), so it is most convenient using the RME for EQ. I have 2 presets (sundara & aeon 2) and it's very easy to switch or disable when listening on monitors.

It does not sound like you have this situation, so perhaps the built-in EQ is not a compelling feature for you.
