CDJ's are not Nexus... surprise surprise they were a really good price and then a week later the NXS came out LOL. I have double checked the firmware and they are definitely running the latest. I have emailed Pioneer to ask about a possible conflict on USB3.
USB drivers are up to date and I am fairly sure the BIOS is too but will double check the BIOS.
Haven't tried the CDJ's outside HID mode yet but will try that too.
Thanks for all your help to date and apologies for my weird theories and obvious comments... Man enough to admit when I am wrong.
