Before the sound does reach the EQ, it does pass the console's input and not a sound card. And even if the behaviour should be emulated, you are not using the same knobs, you need to use a remote, a mouse or remote mixer. And the console is just a part of the complete tool chain used by those engineers and artists. In short, the result of the mix has nearly nothing to do with the used DAW and its virtual mixer, even the work-flow depends much on external gear, e.g. if you are using a mouse or a remote mixer, a KORG nanoKONTROL or such an expensive beast as Paul Davis once mentioned (IIRC he owns).
