    I have the x1700 and have tested all the new Pio mixers and Rane and A&H
    My conclution is that I would not change my X1700 to any other mixer as the x1700 it is the
    absolute best mixer I can find for me.

    I also have tested the X1600 together with one SC2000 and it is a very good combination (even better with two SC2000s!

    The reason why I love my X1700 is that Denon has put in the absolute best parts that money can buy in it.
    That results in a soundquality above any other mixer on the market and a mixer that will last for decades!
    Also you can preset a lot of things so that it works as you want it to wich is a very good thing, the preset can then be saved on a USB stick so if you have the mixer in a club every DJ can have his prefered settings on an USB stick……

    The X1600 and X1700 has the same soundcard so the biggest two differences is that x1700 has 2x efx units and the x1600 has some more buttons for DVS

    You will not be dissapointed with any of them!

    If you have any questions about the X1700, X1600 or SC2000 I will gladly answer them here!

    Thanks! Would you say the 2000 has about the same workflow as the MC6000? I love my 6000 but want a stronger mixer for the studio, and a 1600 with a pair of 2000’s seemed like they would do just that…

    I would say it is very much like a 1/3 of a MC 6000
    (1/3 is mixer and 2xSC2000 the other 2/3s)
    But a bit better because there is a bit larger buttons and a bit more space between knobs and buttons.
    I did think the same way as you but as I already had my S3700 and X1700
    and wanted something smaller to bring where my main setup did not fit so I went with the MC6000 wich I also like.

    Bare in mind also that if you absolutely do not need 4 channels you have the 2 channel X600 mixer wich takes smaller space. I have tested the X600 together with the SC2000 as well and it is also a very good mixer well in the same class as the X1600 sound and buidqualitywise 🙂

    All three (X600 X1600 and X1700 are traktor certified so you can use their soundcard directly with Traktor :-))

    Hit me with more Qs if you have any……

    I know this is late but just to let you know you will not be disappointed. I own the X1600 and use it with Traktor Pro. I also use it with the NI Control X1s and the Reloop RMP-3 (Reloops are mapped for Traktor so no need for time code cds). The mixer is a solid unit (use can use it as a midi controller as well). Used Pioneers and I would have to say it stands up to their flagship mixer. For half the price you can’t beat it.

    Thanks! Glad to know I spent wisely – I so rarely do that! haha I’m looking forward to giving it a thorough test drive this week now that I’ve cleared a little space to set everything up.
