[@harveyspecterdj6661]

The Pioneer platform has a serious issue: they have a single CPU and are not PC based so their system is absolutely not modular or flexible. Pioneer now has to reinvent it all and need to design a totally new hardware platform. Denon is lightyears ahead. Denon should now push the clubs and top DJ's. There is no reason anymore for people to hold on to Pioneer. They have not done any innovations for years and are tremendously overpriced.

[@Reticuli]

The X1800 faders aren't any looser than an A&H. If you want a thicker feel, you can put grease in them. The X1850 has some grease in them now.

[@djphilly44]

Awesome product and software. I do see the players will support m.2 mvme and ssd storage in future designs as SATA standard runs its course.

[@someguy4915]

No reason to have NVME in such players as Sata HDD will be more than fast enough and Sata SSDs are already far more than fast enough, the player is even shown having a Crucial M500 SSD being placed inside, as it's a standard Sata port you can already fit SSDs. NVME adds nothing to this except a higher price-tag, but no speed increase in this application type.

Rekordbox Color rating to sign the track with energy (for ex. green for lounge, yellow for opening, orange for warmup, red for maintime, pink for bangers - in one second i know which tracks to choose, which not. That the time is for orange only, or red - i think this is the best feauture on Rekordbox at least in performance mode, where you can see it in column.. Try to think about it, when i would switch, i would miss this little thing so much.. It could be 10px wide stripe near to album art...

Just a humble request' Kinkdy make a SC-6000M Prime with a 10" inches Motorize Plater with a good stylish dots black & silver metal combination on the side' (instead of pure stainless glossy metal on the outside) U can use same elements on the Plater but this time with a tone down color for more serious professional looks & feel,. Pls,. & the most important thing in the world, is to lower the cost even a bit so to those peeps like me who are much average can purchase your high end gear & can enjoy your masterpiece together in the world of denon Dj!
