Denon uses rotary encoders so they can arbitrarily expand the FX selection through a firmware update. For example, their FX selection knobs are labelled on the hardware and therefore new FX cannot be added, so if you want the latest 2 or 3 FX you'll have to spend 2k dollars on a new mixer. Pioneer use other tricks to get you to buy their next product. I suspect when they release their next 4-channel player it will incorporate all the new stuff from the Prime 2 and much more.

You could say Denon did the same Pioneer are doing by releasing the Prime 2 after the Prime 4, but in my opinion the Prime 2 isn't a cut-down version of the Prime 4, since it has some refinements over the Prime 4, and what you are really buying is a more portable package anyway.

īut it's Pioneer, who knows? Same thing with the DDJ-1000, most people want an mk2 that would be 1:1 with CDJs and DJM nexus2 kit, but instead they give us the sh*t sandwich that the DDJ-FLX6 is, yet another example of a pointless product from Pioneer that adds but also subtracts features, and confusers users because it's hard to decide if it's an upgrade or a downgrade.ĭenon, on the other hand, strive to deliver the best they can at the time in every product.
