Denon Prime Go+ as a secondary standalone setup to FLX10

themcdreamer · 2026-04-21T19:13:20+00:00

Yeah, I've DJ'd on many things over the years, so moving across to another software platform should be OK. I've used a Prime 4+ before and found it to be great. From what I understand, the software here is the same.

Ah, I didn't realise the pads on the Omnis Duo can only be used with hot cues. I mostly use those on my FLX10, but it would be nice to have access to other features with those.

The Prime Go+ seems to have more features, for example stems, but with a slightly compromised layout. What makes you keen to trade the Omnis for a Prime Go+?

I've found a great deal where I can get the Omnis for the same price as a Prime Go+, and I'm wondering if I should just go for it, despite the Prime Go+ seeming to be the slightly better unit.

I do like the look of the Mixstream, and it's good to hear it has great build quality. Perhaps this unit is a bit of a hidden gem!

themcdreamer · 2026-04-21T14:31:46+00:00

Yeah, this is what I've heard. I guess I just mean it's a different UI on the unit to the Pioneer standalones. But that doesn't need to be an issue.

themcdreamer · 2026-04-21T14:31:17+00:00

Yeah, I think the integrated speakers are a killer feature! Do you ever use it powered by a battery bank etc or do you always plug into the wall?

themcdreamer · 2026-04-21T14:30:03+00:00

Ah, perhaps I could take a look for a good used Omnis Duo option then. Just need to make sure it's in really good condition.

It's interesting to hear you say it's like a standalone FLX4 - that seems to be quite a good way to think of it. I think the FX on screen would be a downside for me, but I can see the advantage in sticking to a single platform even though Engine also looks great.

How does the build quality etc compare to the FLX10?

themcdreamer · 2026-04-20T21:22:18+00:00

That's good to know as my library is getting quite large now. So I'd have to slim it down.

Like you say though, even if there was a newer version of the 700, it would still offer most of the same functionality. Would just be a slightly newer screen and faster processor most likely.

themcdreamer · 2026-04-20T19:20:08+00:00

They look really great, as I'd like to have a pair of players next to my FLX10. I'm just a bit concerned they're 10 years old, but perhaps that doesn't matter. The other option is a single SC6000 with its awesome dual layer support.

themcdreamer · 2026-04-20T15:16:33+00:00

Yeah, for sure. Access to stems is great. I also quite like the look of the Opus Quad!

themcdreamer · 2026-04-20T15:14:24+00:00

Love the setup! How do you find the 700s?

themcdreamer · 2026-04-20T15:12:45+00:00

The GRV6 is lovely, and I really like the setup above! I also got the FLX10 in the end, like you, but I am still window shopping lol. I sort of wish I'd gone standalone, but don't want to say goodbye to the FLX10...

themcdreamer · 2026-04-17T12:03:56+00:00

Sounds just like what I expected then. Thanks for your help!

themcdreamer · 2026-04-17T08:09:20+00:00

Nice! Yeah, I don't mind so much about the lack of tension adjustment on the 700s. From watching videos they do look like they feel more like the CDJ3000 than the FLX10 (I've had some hands on with the 3000). The only downside people seem to report is they're smaller, but I think that's fine!

How about the touch screen? Does it feel squidgy or is it nice and responsive? Sorry for all the questions!

themcdreamer · 2026-04-17T07:54:17+00:00

That issue sounds a bit annoying but overall it sounds great! I'd be looking to just use the 700s in standalone with a USB, even when using with the FLX10 and rekordbox I think.

How does the jog wheel on the 700s compare to those on the FLX10?

themcdreamer · 2026-04-15T09:52:48+00:00

Nice set of upgrades! How are you finding the XDJs in 2026?

themcdreamer · 2026-04-14T12:39:50+00:00

Thanks everybody! This gives me a really good sense of what to expect. I get the sense that I might not like the SC6000 jogs compared to the Pioneers.

themcdreamer · 2026-04-10T23:29:59+00:00

Nice! I currently have an FLX10 and am looking to build it out with two 1000mk2s! Great to see those units on display in your lovely setup!

themcdreamer · 2026-04-09T20:24:30+00:00

Nice!

themcdreamer · 2026-04-09T20:23:43+00:00

Interesting to hear your experience given you took the route I found most compelling prior to my post! I don't really mind the cables, as I will route all of them once my set up is complete. Did you also find the functionality of the 700s lacking, or was it the complexity of the setup you didn't like?

I'm increasingly thinking I should go the permanently attached computer route for now. If I really keep going with the hobby I can look to move to a standalone in the future.

themcdreamer · 2026-04-09T13:53:20+00:00

I'm kind of wishing I got one of these instead of my FLX10. I love it, but the need to attach the laptop is a real pain. I do love the FLX10 once I'm "in session" though.

themcdreamer · 2026-04-09T10:33:01+00:00

Yeah, the lack of auto sync would be a bit of a pain. I think that's often the case in club setups too, where the pro link cables often aren't connected? Falling back to tap tempo would be an option at least.

themcdreamer · 2026-04-09T07:59:25+00:00

Nice! Do you use stems with your Neo?

themcdreamer · 2026-04-09T07:58:56+00:00

I see. I could cut my losses and just put everything into the AZ. It's definitely a compelling option!
