I use the vestax's line in because thats what traktor scratch control vinyl uses. Just because xone's have hefty price tag doesn't mean your gonna mix longer or better. They are aimed at the numerous features thats comes with the mixer. Most mixers aren't advertised as digital or analogue (most). Now the vestax is obviously made different than the xone but still its analogue. I prefer the sound of vestax over a xone when it comes to timecoded vinyl.

CD's or time coded sound different than vinyl, both are digital. This is where you choose your person perference.
