The other thing to think about is that what is the point of buying a mixer with a really nice audio interface when you are just going to replace it with a NI interface for a DVS solution.

Having an internal soundcard, Matrix input would really be a necessity to get the most out of it. I never fully understood it's benefits, but since I have the X1600, I can't live without. Three people djing seperately on 1 mixer? why not thanks to matrix.
Hey you got a 1600? I thought you had a 600? How do you like it? :)
I abaolutely love it. I upgraded half a year ago after thinking I needed the extra 2 channels. And I do. Plus the capabilities are way more divers. Fx are nicer layed out, usb channel possibilities are more divers. Even if you don't need the 2 extra channels it's worth considering the benefits.
So Korg, Pioneer and Denon get TSP cert but A&H DBs don't... Odd
Also the Xone 4D did... now no love for Xone from NI.
It's all odd. I can see if NI had the choice why they would go for Pioneer for reasons already stated and why Pio would probably pay extra bucks for them just not to sell license to A&H.
At this price it smacks a little of the DB2. Still so expensive you may as well plump for the daddy DB4.
And in Pioneers case you may as well plump for DJM900
Unplugging and plugging soundcards to switch between vinyl and DVS is a pain. And multicore cables only work if there are enough inputs to connect them to. That's not happening on the Allen and Heath DB2 or DB4. It's probably not an issue for this pioneer but for other equipment it makes a difference. And if you are gigging with your soundcard that means you're plugging and unplugging whenever you go to a gig, unless you buy two soundcards. So, yeah, it's more of a pain. And it's totally unnecessary; this basically only hurts legitimate TSP users who mostly already own the interface. Illegitimate users will use cracked copies anyway so they don't care whether their sound card is certified.
I agree with you on USB; hopefully thunderbolt will be a future savior. In the meantime, Firewire is an inadequate substitute; the ports are too flaky. I have had several problems with music over firewire that I traced to bad Firewire ports. In one case it was a port in a brand new computer. I love my firewire soundcard but it is very particular about the port it's plugged into.

I mean…the db2 and db4 could still easily run 2 decks of DVS with the option for 2 of vinyl without plugging or un-plugging anything…but it would take 4 channels worth of inputs.
I have no idea what they were thinking. And that was a stupid fucking decision.
Okay, you're right…the db2 and db4 should be certified if only to correct a ridiculous oversight.
Congratulations, A&H…that's money you'll never get from me. Next time, talk to a DJ before you let morons in suits drop features that "no one" uses.
Fucking idiots.
No seriously…what the frak were they thinking?!!!??!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!??!
... What the hell
Mostapha you have been on a right good rant lately.. It has been really good to read. Thanks ;)
