But since they went all digital (DJM-800 and beyond) they have been. The CDJs were always pretty good sounding. Pioneer has never been known as the absolute top sound quality, in fact their analog mixers kind of sucked. So they blew that.Īnd alienating people with their thug attitude certainly has not helped them.īut yea, so far as your comments on Denon sound quality, yea I agree they are good sounding. But here was another even bigger opportunity, to define the format that everyone else is going to use and force Pioneer to open their system or be left out. not enough DJs considered that a requirement. Denon tried to lead with their spinning platter but it did not work out for them.

And Android is actually winning, yea, it is. Pioneer being like the iPhone/IOS of the industry, Denon could have been Android. There were opportunities there for them to switch gears. Serato was disruptive, Traktor was disruptive. So yea, brings us to where USB comes into the picture. Instead it was deck after deck where they forced people to choose, and the experience was not good enough for people to choose to go the hard path which was Denon instead of the easy path which was Pioneer. in short if they made a player that a sound company or club could buy that would be a non-issue when DJs showed up to play, if they had taken a more friendly marketing approach to Pioneer users rather than a polarizing us-vs-them approach, then they would have done better, in my opinion. that loaded, unloaded, and read the CDs as fast reliably as Pioneer, that handled all brands of burnable CD, that handled paper labels on the CD. If, 10-15 years ago, they produced a CD deck that was enough like a CDJ-1000 to be comfortable to a Pioneer user. I need to have those decks and they have paid for themselves in the gigs they have been used for). if they want these top of the market products. people will pay Rane price, they will pay Pioneer prices. and companies like Rane who played their cards better and produce a bomb product that people are willing to pay top dollar for (pay, overpay. It's gotten them the #2 spot, and that is questionable now with the Serato and Traktor. so far as gaining the #1 spot in the market. So yea, that is what Denon has been up against since the late 1990's and the whole time it's been the same situation where (without repeating all I said in my previous post) they have been trying to unseat Pioneer by piling on features, which has not worked, and by using an anti-Pioneer marketing message, which has not worked, and by competing on price. And Pioneer is what I like to see too when I play events as well. and if I were to show up with Denon decks it would be a huge issue.

the events I rent my system to and the DJs that play those events expect Pioneer, other sound guys that do the same kind of events I do, they have Pioneer. But reality is that my decks are Pioneer. I can plug into my or someone elses computer and play, I can borrow a computer at a festival if I need to organize my files. In fact I don't use Rekordbox anymore but just organize my tracks in folders on the flash drive and use them that way, it's more work but better for me. But personally, if I am going to be locked in by someone, it's going to be Pioneer. I f-ing HATE Pioneer's jog bend dead zone, though.What I think needs to be open is the FORMAT that Rekordbox, Engine, Traktor, Serato, etc use to store their metadata (database of tracks, bpm, key, waveform, etc) so that this information is recognized by every system, not locking you into one system. Granted, Cdj-1000mk3 on have been bit perfect at zero pitch, making the sound of the Pioneer players moot going digital, and Pioneer also got their analog outs' sound up to snuff at that time on the CDJs, too.

Whatever interpolative upsampling Denon used for the resampling in 96khz mode, it's awesome, like exotic audiophile stuff, even if the background doesn't sound as black or details 'pop' like the Rane processing (talking digital in/outs, not the analog ones).Ĭomparing Denon DN-5000 to the CDJ-1000mk2 years ago, the Denon sounded a lot nicer to me. I still think the DN-x1700 sounds better than the DJM900NXS2 and even more 'musical' for some reason than the MP2015, though the Rane is a super duper resolution/detail monster and a lot of fun to mix on. You have to take abuse on there from favored a-holes if you plan on not getting edited or blocked. I'm locked out of that forum now, though. I've told new Denon and InMusic that Engine Prime needs to just be open source.
