Wow this looks promissing

So if you link two together with the ethernet cable through USB, will it 'merge' the soundcard so you have a 4 channel soundcard?

If it does then you could bring two to a gig, hook them together with ethernet and not need another audio interface and have a 4 channel soundcard. It kind of sucks they put one 1/8" on the front instead of having both outputs in the back. It makes it a little awkward if you wanted to run both outputs to separate channels on the mixer, now you have to run a cable to the front. Also remember you have the option to run each channel in traktor mono so you could use one of them as a 4 channel soundcard with a few adapters (like you would with an audio 2 or 4). Plus a lot of systems are mono anyway.

I really like the idea of having one or two of these with a DB2 or DB4 for a home setup then just take them to your gig with a laptop and you have an audio interface to use already in your controller with the house mixer.

I love the X1s but I might have to give them up for these, i would love to get my hands on one.

Also, that button grid looks perfect to put a midifighter mapping on....

I'll take it as long as it is priced near the Xone: 1D which was $299-$329 when they were at their peak of popularity.

If this is made of metal like the 1D then I will buy in a heart beat.

Pretty much addressed my two gripes with the 1/2D - the buttons and the "jogwheel". Very excited! Agreed that I would prefer a standard stereo out on the back over the headphone config, but this will do nicely. Might turn my DB4 into a next gen 4D.

Exactly. Those LED buttons look perfect. I really grew to hate those jogs on the 1D/4D- they were useless except to browse and load tracks and the buttons felt dead. These buttons look like a slightly harder Kontrol X1 button which would be fine for me. If they are a little squishy I would prefer it but I'll take them either way.

now...where can i pre-order?

[V-Hoff]

Wow, just wow.
Me want it

I'll wait for a model without a soundcard to replace my X1
