Descrição
The AlphaTheta XDJ-AN is the new entry-level two-channel standalone that plays your music from just about anywhere: streaming, the Rekordbox cloud, a USB stick, or straight off your phone. It even works with the DJM-REC app for recording and streaming, a first for an all-in-one like this. But did it lose too much to accommodate this flexibility?
In this review you get a full tour, my pros and cons, and how it stacks up against the competition. I take you through the good and the rough, and where it sits against the Numark Mixstream units, the Denon SC Live 2 and 4, and AlphaTheta's own Omnis Duo.
