I don't even care about that option tbh. Just connect an external SSD with over 10000 tracks and another 3K mixes and hundreds of sets LOL. I am more upset about the fact that neither the prime 4, nor the XDJ-AZ have stems without laptop. Slight bump is not having all 4 wave forms on the XDJ at once or screen select without switching the deck... On the other hand, the Prime 4 cancels effects on a currently running track if you switch to change effects on another deck. So heh. Both have issues. We'll prob still have to wait 1 or 2 gen before perfection without a laptop!

I have the denon dj prime 4 with internal 1tb SSD. Love using Soundswitch with the denon dj. The denon prime 4 is more advanced in their technology. I’m planing on buying the denon dj prime 4 plus to use stems feature. I love mixing with stems. I mix a lot of Latin music, so I love being creative for example blending acapellas in spanish with hip hop instrumental or any type of genres I can come up with. So denon dj prime 4 plus is the best controller for me. Reason why I haven’t gotten yet is because I’m loving my Rane Four performer.

​@@djdeboyThat is a fair comment. The Engine Prime software used to prepare music needs some more work. It is super simple to use but I have had it crash once and mess up the library. It also feels like it could use more features - perhaps becoming closer to a fully fledged DJ software like VDJ / Serato / Traktor. Pioneer's Rekordbox does a decent and bettee job so far, just as shame they are going for the subscription route which hurts DJ's wallets. I'd say Engine Prime is still plenty usable for the job it is intended for, let's hope they improve it.

@ggrocketleague9098 In my opinion, it is not usable! Evertime I try to export via the sync manager it always freezes 🥶 and takes ages till I can get control again. Then I want to verify that all my playlists are there, and It takes 3 seconds to open every branch and see if all the playlists are there, which is super annoying. And the last thing is that it doesn't correctly analyse almost all of the beat grids. I don't necessarily care about other features. If the software would be stable and I could prepare my music without I headache I would buy denon equipment. And how do I know? I had a sc live 4 which I heartbroken sold for those reasons...

the Prime 4+ is the best all rounder and if the updated version has better jogs (for those who do not like the jogs) it will be by far and away the best standalone, had the AZ had all of the features it is supposed to at launch it would be somewhat on par with the Prime 4, the Opus is a niche product and was designed to be that so you either have to really like it and or your main gigs are high end functions that the opus would compliment. Also lets not forget the Denon Sc Live 4 that has a smaller screen to the p4 and the in jog displays are mid but if you can get past that it can do everything the P4 can do and is around £600 cheaper and when you take that into account it does not reflect well on the AZ and Opus for their prices.

Everyone comments on the Prime 4 capabilities and look, but as an event organiser Pioneer at the end of the day is the only real option when booking DJs due to the nature of it being part of the standard. If I was buying equipment for home or having our residents play exclusively the Prime 4 would be excellent, but handing it over to someone unprepared just isn't an option when the goal is giving the audience a good show. Our events are free and frequent so we tend to bite the bullet on buying equipment rather than do rental; since I can use hire income as the funding source for free events (Alongside donations) not only does the AZ mean DJs have an easier time playing, but I'll also have an easier time hiring them out and making up the utterly obsene different in cost.

I'd say in comparison it might not give you the same results as the DDJ-RX was made with this intended purpose, but where the AZ does prevail is its layout making it closer to a club setup which is why these features have been left off. We normally have seen these features in the past in the DDJ series but you can still combine multiple FX using the Colour FX & Beat FX at the same time, just not to the extent of that of the RX.

It's clear that Pioneer has drawn inspiration from the prime 4+ in terms of the AZ's microphone controls and booth outputs. Apart from looks and tastes, I'm sorry for Pioneer, but Denon offers more for less, if only with all outputs in xlr, a mono stereo switch, and a tilting screen that can limit reflections and improve visual comfort. As for Pioneer's different effects management, it's a matter of habit. And don't forget that 40 years ago, d-jays were making audiences dance with Technics SL1200s !

Looks like a futuristic space ship cock pit with the led colors. From someone who loves to spin on turntables it’s not for me, but I do love it’s all in one features I own it, but I also preordered the AZ for the club standard feel. Plus the jogwheels are much better than pioneer. I’ll never know which is better until I try the AZ. The opus quad is something I would use but would never buy. Lol

Dac is not the main thing in sound ;) board scheme, power options ant how electronic components works with each other...A9 sounds bad as all Pioneer mixers except V10 and Euphonia. By the way, Denon is nice gear for home studios or wedding djs, but Pioneer is still club standart for their long life and perdormance ​@@ddetongre

@@mindosy Pioneer has never been club standard. It was what clubs were told to buy instead of being given options. Plenty of incentive schemes in play to get the club standard off the ground.

They always seem to fall short...with the XZ it was lack of true 4 channel standalone. With the AZ they implemented 4 channels but can't get all 4 waveforms on 1 screen. If the goal was to emulate a 3/4 deck Industry Standard layout then flip flopping between waveforms ain't it. Prime 4+ does. It's ironic that Pioneer fanboys will shyt on Denon yet they want Pioneer to implement the bells n whistles that Denon has implemented in their gear. And why did they put the pads under the jogs when the 3000 has them above as well as the Opus Quad. Hell, they even did so with the GRV6 so why not the AZ? Pioneer/Alpha Theta are the Apple of the DJ world.

Would be great if the XDJ-AZ had better jog wheel displays like SRT1000 Also would have liked ability to change the main screen layout to vertical waveforms like you can with Denon

Unpopular opinion : Denon should be the club standard now. There's ONE reason for that : Versatility. No matter which kind of file you come with, it should work perfectly with Denon gear. A media full of unanalysed files ? The device will analyse the file and allow you to correct beatgrid easily on the fly. Now, CDJ-3000 or XDJ-AZ can do it too but it's not as efficient. But EngineDJ can also read Rekordbox or Serato metadata and AFAIK, Standalone Pioneer DJ and AlphaTheta gear don't read Serato or EngineDJ. Meaning that if a Pioneer user plays on a Denon unit, the hot cues or saved loops will be there. But if a Denon user plays on CDJ-3000 or XDJ-AZ, there will be no hot cues or saved loops. Also Engine DJ devices have more options for streaming services.

The upgraded version of XZ named AZ makes Opus Quad even more special. We will easily find many people impressed by the design of Opus but no one will find it special before AZ and many people may confuse it with XZ... we should not put Prime4 here because it is not classy enough to compare together.😂😂😂😂

Without the large price tag? Alphatheta XDJ - AZ is $4600 in Toronto plus taxes. Prime 4 Plus is $2800. Buy two LC6000 Primes and you're roughly the same price with a much better set up.

The selling point for the XDJ-AZ is that it is supposed to be CDJ3000 and A9 combined but it is laid out way more like the Prime 4+ but with way less features. Prime 4+ crushes it at $1k lower price tag. The AZ is a wannabe. You can't even replace or upgrade the crossfader without a complete breakdown of the unit.
