With this kit around, it is quite tempting to completely go the digital way. Does that mean the Vinyl DJ era comes to an end? Well that’s the million dollar question. It won’t be easy as there are still a lot of vinyl DJ fans.

The Denon DJ totally eliminates the need for CDs, as this kit has the ability to combine a direct drive scratching turntable with the standard hard drives. This feature helps the artist in making extensive databases on the hard disk. The Denon HS 5500 gives you the freedom to download music from any digital file format and save it on the hard drive, as it supports both external USB devices and the iPod. It also features a MIDI controller, 4-way BPM counter, 5 built-in DSP effects and many more. The Denon DJ has a built-in audio player which helps in previewing the database from any location.

The Denon DJ features dual deck operation with two separate audio outputs.
