I can't find technical reasons.
Please inform.
more .mp3 320kbps and .wmaL
more screenshots

i have done similar tests, most plugins are in same level,

do a simple test,
import a .wav song from a cd, that is super recorded/mastered

duplicate that song/track
use native eq in A, another "SSL" in B,
do your magic,
then change the phase in one track,
if what you say its true, they should cancel 100% and nothing will come out in the master channel.
absolute silence.

if theres not 100% cancelation, its
probalby your Wordclock fault, or your DAC, or your cables, or your amplifier or your loudspeakers, or your headphone amp or your headphones!
or your ears or your testing methodology or the plugins.

plugins that have diferent algorithms, its verry unlikely that two diferent algorithms make 100% the same results.
waves req hishelf has totally diferent sound than kjaerhusaudio geq7 hi-shelf, and totally diferent than behringer ddx3216, and totally diferent than waves qclone, and totally diferent than roland vs2480, and totally diferent than free parisEQ1.1 vst, and totally diferent than izotope ozone, and totally diferent than sonictimeworks eq1, totally diferent than yamaha type1 and diferent than type2, etc...

or use a file comparator. they should be 100% equal, bit by bit.
