indeed; jaw dropping with the CDJ2000's next to it !
Didn't find any lose screws in mine either... i would give the retailer a call about that if i was you.

What's a D-Sub connector dude? :)Quote:

I'm interested in exactly why he wants to use them, something google won't tell me the answer to. In fact googling it won't give *any* info specific to the issue at hand since they are a pretty generic connector.
I may be wrong, but i think d sub connections are used on stuff like protools pci cards and the apogee duet. Its just more space efficient, allows for more ins/outs and possibly better sound quality.
Yeah I think I've seen it used on PCI cards to connect a little breakout cable for when you can't fit all the ports on the front panel. I just don't get what you use it for with a DVS card, I'm missing something here clearly :)
I think he means have one connector on the DVS card with an octopus of RCA cables coming out of it to jam into your mixer. It would save you from plugging four cables into the DVS card every time.
I just leave some cables plugged in and then plug them into things. One day I'd like to get multicores and just leave the card half and mixer half plugged in and then have a second set of mixer halves for gigging.
edit: it would be neat if they nicely screwed in though so they couldn't come undone.
Nothing to do with sound quality. They're all just wires. Just convenience & aesthetics.Quote:

Mostly, I just think DVS sound cards are insanely bulky and ugly and hard to fit in places…mostly because they have connectors on both sides and wind up looking like spiders…for no good reason. But, I'm weird. I don't really think that sound cards should have any jacks on the front. My little 2i2 stand in toy has 3 jacks on the front and 2 on the back…all of them have something plugged in and all of the cables go straight back behind my desk. It'd be a lot tidier if all the jacks were on the back…and having used the only major DVS sound card that did that…I can say it's a lot easier to wire in the dark if you don't have to flip it around to get to more jacks.
No that makes sense but I doubt it would happen. I think it'd scare people off since it looked too different.
