Homegrove …feel like Mojaxx nails it in his summary, conservative with a small ‘c’. They couldn’t afford to be too radical with the redesign for fear of alienating their base, ie. not generally domestic consumers but predominantly venues and hire companies.
Some nice features though, the track preview (and track playing preview) are cool, the master track/waveform display is great and overall the screen looks gorgeous, smoother and much higher res than it did in the leaked pics. Build quality deffo MUCH more suited to a top-of-the-range player.
People will whinge about the lack of dual layer deck control like the Denons, personally I’d be unlikely to use it, but might have been nice to have in a player at that price (2 decks for the price of 1- kinda thing) and somehow think it wouldn’t have been that hard to implement.
Interested to see how they refresh the XDJ’s now…
