All of the above recommended features are great. I would recommend the following extensions/improovements:

  • 100% Prime compatible
  • a third screen above the mixer-section
  • ability for easy setting of filters for better matching of songs (according to speed, key and maybe some kind of element-matching)
  • out-of-the-box MIDI support for various DJing, mixing and looping tools (like Ableton live, Traktor and PCDJ)

For this version a price around 3000 Euros should be fair. It should be the answer of Denon to the Pioneer DDJ-RZX.

i’m still wondering if i should purchase the unit or not. i’ve been reading tons of reviews and hopefully waiting for mkII (if it’s going to be one) to fix and improve.

  • 4 ch engine prime (no laptop for real full use of the hardware)
  • 7" touch screens (with qwerty search option)

that’s it for me… no brainer!!! 2/3 thousand pricetag no problem, i’ll buy it!!

so far is half product without a laptop.

i love denon equipment, been playing on dn1800f 15 yrs ago, love the quality (build and sound) would love to go back to denon as mobile dj but still waiting for the “real” denon controller to use without a laptop. i would by the new sc’s, but as a mobile dj i know i would hate myself every gig.

peace and nice gigs to everyone

I just purchased the MCX 8000 as an upgrade to the Pioneer DDJ-SX. I was really hesitant because of all the negative comments about the stand-alone mode. I set up an engine library with 5000 songs on a memory stick and it works beautifully. I just completed a 4 hour set in the heat with no issues (at least not caused by the controller).

I still fumble around with the location of the SHIFT key on the left deck when I try to delete CUEs fast. The touch strip also seems quite sensitive and moved me to the end of a few songs but that may have been user error.

I love the MCX 8000 and should have upgraded a lot sooner!

I think that everybody is happy with a good and quick search function !

Now we can only scroll and search for a song by a knob. If you have a lot off songs with a specific letter, it takes too much time.
