    Seriously I would not DJ without a laptop, yet… I guess the time will come where it is no longer needed, but now all things I find are a compromise.
    Smallest setup I have seen: Macbook Air + NI X1 + MidiFighter Pro

    The Radius 2000 is a media player and midi controller, no CD function. I had a pair of 3000s which have the CD player. I think they take up to a 32Gb USB stick a pair would cost around £500

    I am curious as to what are all the options to DJ digitally without a laptop. I’m looking to minimize my setup slightly and don’t really want to go the CDJ route. My google-fu has only come up with the Stanton SCS.4DJ which looks great but is missing out on some features that I use (multiple cue points, gain, etc) and the Pioneer XDJ-Aero which looks cool but again is missing multiple cue points (which I understand, is asking a lot) and has the “gimmicky” feel to it (wi-fi, really?).

    The Denon SC2900 is the closest to what I am looking for. It would be perfect if it didn’t have a CD drive and was just a digital media player. I’m hoping that this thread will turn into a list showing all the options that I have missed.

    List so far:
    Stanton SCS.4DJ
    Pioneer XDJ-Aero
    Denon SC2900 (kinda, it still is a CDJ)

    What’s wrong with the SC900 having a CD drive? The CD drive just gives you more playback options.
    It’s still a media player.

    @Si Boogie – Thank you, that looks awesome and definitely fits with what I am looking for. I’m going to be doing some research on that.
    @djsubculture – Nothing is wrong with the SC2900 having a CD drive and looks like an amazing piece of kit. I just have never ran into a situation where I needed a CD drive. It was the closest thing to what I have been looking for before the Radius 2000

    Denon’s core market are mobile DJs so that explains the CD drive.
