| I'm looking to get a pair of cd players at a reasonable price, and these 2 seem to be the 2 best for the money i have right now (don't say anything about the CDJ-800/1000's, i dont have the cash). so i guess im wondering what are the more preferred of the 2 i mentioned, and why? they appear to be around the same price, so i need something else to seperate the 2 and help me make my decision. thanks for any help. |

These are fairly new so not many people are going to be able to tell you the real differences besides whats listed in the product specs.
I have a DN-S3000 for sale. You could buy another new one and it would probably cost you similar to what you are spending on a pair of either of those. |

cosmokid - how much are you looking to sell it for?
i got big pants - did you also try out the cdj-200 before you bought the dn-s1000?
i guess i should also add im concerned about which of the two will retain pitch the best. im new to understanding the specs of players/tables, so could someone help me out with this one? |

The cdj-200 has a 0.02% pitch step while the DN-S1000 has 0.1%. If you're going to want to make long smooth mixes then the cdj-200 would be a better choice. Don't know about the other features of these two players tho. Anyway, do what you want with this :).

omg, buy the cdj200. its sick. as mentioned before, much better pitch accuracy, it has built in FX, and once you use the loop cutter, you will never think about a denon ever again. plus is plays mp3s as well. its absolutly impossible to scratch on, and the denon does a so-so job of giving you a scratching platter. but if you arent gonna try and scratch with it, you really should buy the pioneer.
I sell these things everyday, and under $500 US, there isnt a CD player out there that i would rather have than a cdj-200. |

everyone here seems to like their pioneers...no question about it...performace and sensitivity wise pioneer rock...
anyhow I actually got to play around with the denon dns 1000. Also note to mention I use the CDJ's 1000 MK2 at the moment therefore it doesn't take a genius to figure out that I was chocked with the denon's when I touched them. Comparing how they feel and how smooth you get with the 1000. Anyhow I never got to play with the CDj's 200, but they seems to maintain some of the features from the higher end pioneer. Therefore I would go for the pioneer 200 instead of denon's 1000. Money wise I think the pioneer might be a bit cheaper, not by much. |

If you look at the customer base of the two, you'll
find Denon having a more Hip Hop fan base, whereas,
Pioneer's customers more over towards Dance music.
I've actually seen the video of the Denon S 1000,
and, Pioneer CDJ 200, and, from a mixing point of
view, Pioneer wins hands down. If I was using a
Crossfader, I would go for the Denon. |
