: AFAIK, every digital EQ is made with companding. A few digital EQs will be there including Sabine's GRQ3102 and Rane's new DEQ 60L.

(I'm finally catching up on these threads)
No Rane products use companding. You won't find compression (unless it's clearly a feature of the product) nor emphasis anywhere in our line. So if you test for linearity, you'll be testing the conversion system's linearity.
PS - see the link below to a RaneNote on properly testing and specifying various audio measurements.
I'd be surprised if you found emphasis in any product designed after 1990.
