i had one of these... the build quality is amazing. on par with the legendary 1200/1210 decks, but I fucking hating using it. NO HOT CUES and some mp3 playback quality was piss poor.
I have 2 of these and have been using them steadily at parties, weddings and ceremonies. 90% of the time they work flawlessly. Occasionally for no reason at all they begin to loop the song so it repeats a short section of the song without actually pushing any looping buttons. This can be a disaster at a formal event like a Wedding. I can no longer depend on these for just that reason. Both units had this problem.
I have had one a little over a year (now out of warranty). Loved it while it was working. Unfortunately, I have an occasional blue-screen-of-death and can't get it to do anything. It will do this for a period of time and then start working again. I was told by support that if the motherboard needs replaced it would be around $180, plus the $35 just to look at it and the cost of shipping. I'd have more in the repair than I purchased it for. Anyone else had this problem?
Huh :) It's bigger and heavier (cortex) and it seems to be more expensive. Anyway, the main difference is that sdj1 plays mp3 from SD cards only (but not sdj2) and cortex3k from USB storage devices only.
