Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

phase shift, sometimes you'll want it ...

Let's stop calling it 'phase error'. It isn't always bad.

If Mac is correct, meaning that the Behringer uses IIR filters (and I think it does, though am not 100% sure), then indeed it shifts phase exactly like the equivalent analog equalizer would do.

Now if you use such a phase-shifting equalizer to compensate for the frequency-amplitude aberrations of another minimum-phase system, then the resultant phase response will be linear.

They key, of course, is 'another minimum-phase system'. Your speaker/room system is likely to be MP in some areas, and not in others (e.g. around loudspeaker crossovers, or particular dominant wall reflections). So in some areas the Behringer might improve resultant phase and in some it won't. But as you said, this pales into insignificance compared to the great improvements brought to the net amplitude-frequency response (if you use the Behringer correctly).
