Which Xone's made for me: Xone:92 or Xone:DB2

That’s another good option, too; routing Maschine’s output to the same Traktor output!

And you’re right about the cables, I’d calculated that with my setup I’ll be using 17 cables total. With the DB2, they’re limited to 5 (!) cables (including ALL connections, power, USB/FireWire etc.)

But here’s the thing; though the DB2 is fully digital and everything (FX units), I just want the VCFs. They’re just too good. The DB2 is like the only mixer in the Xone DJ mixer range that doesn’t come with their trademark VCFs. That’s just a damn shame. And 4-band EQ is a nice gimmick. And the FX Send/Return of the Xone 92 works really great, because you can determine on which channel you want FX and how dry/wet, just arranged on the mixer.

It’s pretty old thread but I was wondering what you end up with?

I’m in similar situation right now. I want traktor post fader effects routed to mixer and be able to host my mashine on it as well.

I’m really curious about your experience with either of them.

I wish Allen and Heath would come out with an external version of the DB2/4 effects engine. That coupled with a xone 92 would be sweet!

It’s an old thread I know, but would anyone know about a review/comparison between the DB2 and DB4 in terms of sound quality? The sound cards are different with the DB2 offering a sample rate of 48 kHz while the DB4 offers 96 kHz. I wonder whether there is an audible difference between the two.

Any comparison to a Traktor Audio 10 would be interesting as well, as I own one. Depending on which sounds better (regardless of the current driver issues), I may just use an external sound card.

There should be no audible difference between the Audio 10, DB2, and DB4 - assuming all the gain stages are set correctly.

I hear some talk about digital to analogue conversion and the quality of these. Is it more to these interfaces than just sample rate spec’s?
