    Default Upgrading from my controller. No more PC!

    Hello!

    This is my first post, of many I suppose.
    Started mixing just a few months ago, and bought a Numark Mixtrack Quad cheap from a friend.
    I really wanted to learn because I have a huge passion for house music. Mainly deep/tech house.
    So I wanted a controller with more then two decks, so you can play around with acapellas and so on.
    Got really inspired by Roger Sanchez's mixing, and a set Danny Avila did for dj sounds show. (the first hour)
    link:

    So to my question.
    Is there a all-in-one unit that have more then two decks out there? And don't need a pc with a software to run?
    Or a module set-up that aint to pricey.
    I would of course buy the djm 900 and cdj-2000 ect if it weren't for the price.
    I need something to practice on, and can't be to pricey.
    Max budget around 2500 dollars. I'm open for any suggestions
    It would be a big plus if the unit was compatible with the rekordbox software, to organize my music.
    My numark is btw broken :/

    Watch some minutes of the youtube link if you are wondering what kind of mixing style I like!

    Denon's new MCX8000 can be used a standalone controller with 4 channels, although not Rekordbox compatible (although Serato ready with laptop). That one is $1300.

    Pioneer's XDJ-RX is Rekordbox compatible but is only two channels and will be similar in feel to CDJ 2000s and a DJM unit, but as a single controller. That one will be $1500.

    Only 2 channels are can be used to playback files from USB sticks. But, the OP can add 2 SC2900 players (or any other players) and use 4 channels without laptop that way under the 2500$.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Just watched some vids of the XDJ-1000 player.
    What do you guys think about that?
    I was thinking of buying two of those, and a 4 channel mixer.
    Any suggestions for a mixer around 1000-1500 dollars?
    This way I can upgrade to three decks when I can afford it.

    For 1000-1500$ get a DJM900NXS if you want to get used to Pioneer ergonomics, you may find good deal as it is discontinued now.
    Otherwise, lot of people praise the Xone 92 for its sound quality and FX
