Thanks all and I was worried about the lack of recording option on the MCX8000 and didn’t know you could get small/cheap recording devices so thats a great find in posting this question.
Ideally I’d like x2 XDJ-1000’s and a DJM-350 but the price on those 3 is close to double of the XDJ-RX and more than double of the MCX800 so can’t really justify the extra cash. There almost none second hand either in on eBay in the UK.
I like the look/feel of the XDJ-RX more than the Denon and they are both pretty much the same footprint size so will just about fit into the space I have although the display is bigger on the Pioneer – but theres just the one.
On the Pioneer, is the only option to skip thru tracks (as theres no needle drop) to use the platter with shift or just the search button?
Its a tough decision as the Denon is cheaper and has needle drop, but has no release date yet and I don’t need 4 channels or DVS.
The Pioneer is almost perfect and I could have it tomorrow – but it has no needle drop 🙁
