In general, the answer to that question is yes. But the degree depends on several factors.
If the original Bose OEM Equalizer is in less than excellent shape with aging capacitors, sliders and connectors, then the new EQ901Bs are vastly superior. When comparing the EQ901B to a mint condition OEM equalizer, the differences are more subtle.
In general, because the EQ901 series is based on the high-performance Analog Devices Digital Signal Processor, the noise and distortion are lower and the dynamic range is greater, leading to better audio performance.
In testing, our goal was to have the EQ901Bs be as close as possible to the factory EQ response, with additional enhancements in dynamic and frequency range for lower noise and distortion.
The EQ901B, EQ901 USB and EQ901 Elite models are compared here: EQ901 Series Comparison Guide.
While it is possible to connect an active subwoofer with any of the EQ901 series equalizers, there are specific models that are designed with active crossovers to optimize the audio performance of your 901s with a subwoofer. To see a comparison of our different models and their features, check out our EQ901 Series Selection Guide.

When the EQ901B arrives, it will include the EQ901B unit along with a regulated power supply. The equalization curves for the Bose 901 series you selected will be preset on the EQ901B unit.
The EQ901 is specifically designed for Bose 901 speakers, and although it is possible to use it with another set of speakers, it is not recommended as it would cause excessive bass and treble.
