Tony Andrews sounds out on the CDJ-2000

http://www.djsounds.com/01/11/tony-andrews-sounds-out-on-the-cdj-2000/

The sound quality of the CDJ-2000 has been improved dramatically from the CDJ-1000 and in this clip we hear the first reaction of Tony Andrews, founder of Funktion One who produce arguably the best professional loudspeaker systems in the world.

The CDJ-2000 features a Wolfson DAC, found in Pioneers top end hi-fi equipment. The Wolfson has an incredibly high signal to noise ratio (SNR) of up 117dB, this is 11dB higher than the CDJ-1000MK3 DAC. This creates a more analogue feel than previous audio DACs that use conventional digital filtering and conversion techniques, such as Legato Conversion Link. Whether the CDJ-2000 is used as a player or a sound card, you will definitely hear the difference.

A man known for not mincing his words, and with an incredibly experienced ear, Tony put the CDJ-2000 through its paces with his favourite tracks in the lab at Surrey based Funktion One HQ. Hear why he stresses the importance of taking advantage of this higher sound quality by using high resolution WAVs over MP3s.

With over 30 years experience in the business, including founding Turbosound in the 1970s and establishing Funktion One in 1992, Tony is regarded as an innovator and pioneer in his field.

Holy shit there's a hairy snake on his shoulder.

Tony is a great person. And I'd recommend all the DJs, promoters, Club Owners to listen his words!!!

Really

@metalsinani I don't remember what I was thinking when I wrote this. If I had an opportunity to play a venue that had funktion ones, I would bring the best audio i could.

I just hope nobody writes me off as a dj because I'm only playing 320k mp3s. I think that's a little pretentious.

@metalsinani most old vinyl is in a bad shape though. Believe me i've tried to get good copies.

[metalsinani]

@not0evn why would you need to be rich to pay 2 quid a track ? vinyl costs upwards of 6 pounds for a single and i know countless vinyl djs

[metalsinani]

@grahamhg classic tunes = vinyl

[grahamhg]

Thing is its near impossible to get so many classic tunes in anything other than low bitrate mp3. Other than that I'm with you.

Hat er sich kaufen lassen , schade schade! Dieser Pioneer plastikmüll von dem jedes halbe Jahr ne neue Serie rauskommt, ist für mich mit seinem Marketing echt nicht mehr ernst zu nehmen. Schade das es auch nur wenig hochwertiges Dj Equipment gibt.

Even hearing these new CDJ's against vinyl at the Berghain you still find the vinyl is much fuller and bigger. CD still can get too hard even on their system.
