I've just read 2 threads that in some way reference the 800, and they only reference it they don't discuss it directly, and then everyone jumps in and bashes it.
I don't get it. It's a mixer. It works well. If you don't like it then move on......
What's worse than a Pioneer fanboy? The mindless bashers of Pioneer equipment. Seriously - just get over it and concentrate on something more important!
Its what most everyone has= people will talk shit about it.

I think it's a decent mixer, the layout is familiar and easy to use. Sound quality is OK (worlds better than the DJM-600 was), and the effects (when used very sparingly) can be useful.
Build quality is OK for Pioneer products (they tend to make very plasticy products, like the CDJ-1000 and EFX-1000).
The problem with the DJM-800 is that it's just overpriced.
An A&H or Rane in that price range will be better built and sound nicer.

Before buying my dj kit, I tried multiple mixers, such as the DJM800. I ended up buying a Xone92 because I liked it more. I would qualify the Xone to be more a "studio" mixer than the DJM800. I was a sound tech for 4 years before getting the kit and was used to the studio / live mixers. Everyone has their own taste.
