Looks fine on paper. I would rent one for a month when it comes out, if it's good I might get rid of a MK3 to make room for one of these. Perfect way to integrate Abelton into my setup, it all depends how the outputs going to work out with the AD/DA converter. Only thing missing is the waveform.

Yea, whats the deal with the spinning platter? Seems kinda gimmicky. (Moreso that the decal-ready platter on the CDJ-400) Still, the specs look kinda nice and I'm interested to see how convenient the 2 in 1 thing actually is.

I guess the main thing I'd be concerned about is the build quality, because if they're gonna cram all that stuff into it, if one thing goes on it you're stuck.

The spinning platter can be stopped too so it's not really an issue. It's good for people who are used to vinyl.

yeah but if you turn the platter off it goes into cd mode.
It would be really good if they have changed it so you can use vinyl mode without the spinning platter aswell

Price and release date are unknown at this point.


I wonder how Pioneer is going to answer.

I feel like a cdj-400 but with a full size platter plus maybe a HD is where they're headed to match this Denon. I hope they don't go feature/button crazy though.

wasn't there a rumor by DJ Yousif that Pioneer are coming up with a cd player to replace the 1000s that has midi?
