    oddles of potential for sure, esp with the obvious (i hope) builtin layers. they have actually been doing their research on what people actually want - makes a nice change

    i guess the k2 would be an open source controller in midi mode and as far as the x link goes it serves to control effects on the db4 and db2

    xone fader caps can be easily swapped. even for the db4 mixer fader caps and knobs can easily removed and replaced. provided you find something of the same size which can be fitted like the stock fader caps and knobs

    so this K2 is basically the same AND has builtin sound! win!

    i suspect they will sell a few of these, i definately want one.

    had been thinking of picking up a X1 but soooo glad i didn't, esp as i need a soundcard and didnt need another tp2 license

    the built in soundcard is a plus point for the k2 if you're looking to bring the most basic set-up for abletoon and such. but then again im still wondering why there is a built in soundcard for the k2?

    Pretty sick controller, will get some for sure.

    find the 1/8 jack is a really toyish and poor choice though ....

    not sure as to the "why" i guess... at this price i can't see them bothering to release a version without it tho and at this price who care's if u don't use it i guess?

    it does open up a much bigger market having a builtin soundcard probably and means it can be used as an add on to a more analogue setup.

    i'm not complaining anyway as i've been thinking about buying a decent soundcard for a while now... i doubt it's half bad if coming from them.

    true that i would trust a soundcard coming from allen and heith anytime heee. i mean it's a plus point i guess just take it as a audi2 dj with midi controls heh

    i guess they had to make an assessment of what is most likely to be the best for most users... for me i want the headphone socket anyway

    in the scheme of things tho it's hard to fault much really with it... i can't find anything yet. comes in at 1kg and 400g for the case which is cool and means the case must be reasonably sturdy. i do like small/light/compact/modular controllers. all sounds like a win to me...

    this would be a great backup controller for emergencies and also for some awome fun in the airplane for long flights! Just the macbook pro, this and a headphone = instant airplance 4 deck mixing fun
