Hi! I'm planning on getting a DDJ-SX. Quick question though: Is it like the ERGO that can also be USB-powered (w/o having to plug it to an A/C?)

Keep in mind that the DDJ-SX must be run with an AC adapter (there's no USB bus power option), so Pioneer didn't have to concern itself with limits to the audio output levels on bus power

No, this is an enterprise-class DJ controller in which will need to be plugged in with an A/C.

No, the DDJ-SX needs the AC adaptor. The smaller DDJ-SR is USB powered. If you can get by with 2 Channels you may want to consider it.

It has a separate power supply, unfortunately it is not USB-powered.Hope this helps & enjoy.

You do have to power it up , it comes with its own power pack . But it's a great dj deck you can't go wrong. That just show the kind of power this system has one if the best out in the market.

I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets. The stereo has a USB App that I use which shows the music on the USB Stick as well all the Recorded Radio Programs I have and I play them. I have over a dozen USB Sticks which I used but now I am switching over to Kingston Hyperx Predators because of the vast storage space and uses of their small compact sticks. Some stereo's only have USB slots for Map and system updates so you have to check if your USB is used for that, mine has a SD card slot for updates. My friends use their USB access for music, just like I do but not all stereo's do this.

it is driven either using IRDA or a serial connection. if you do not have either on your devices, USB IRDA and USB serial adapters are available for computers or OTG enabled electronic toys. Drivers are available from sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/a6driver/) - a teeny bit of effort was all it took me and now I have a tiny printer which goes with me wherever I go

Well basically it runs only on ac. It will not power up with usb power. Just a heads up, its a good bluray writer, I highly recommend you use verbatim discs, did not have good luck with sony in particular. Verbatim really do stand apart from the rest.

Can use the A/C adapter instead of batteries. Have not tried to power it with just the USB, but it might work.

try the Magma CTRL Case ERGO Case for Pioneer DDJ-ERGO DJ instead, should meet your requirements

its very straight forward the usb hooks up straight to the mac as long as you download the software from serato's site first, its called serato dj and the ddj sx for me works amazing so i strongly recommend it

I run out of the Main Outs into my Lexicon Alpha USB Interface. I have had multiple boards with USB cards built in but they all really suck as USB Sound Interfaces. Love the way the Lexicon Alpha works and the recorded sound it sooooo much better. That is my solution. Even you can get the Alpha pretty cheap and it will far out perform build in USB interfaces.

deltasquare has a great point about booting from USB. You're also going to have an issue with performance on running with external HDD. Go with mSATA, it's fast and relatively cheap.

I just use this to listen to audio books in my kitchen. I like it a lot, it is the best CD played I own. An audio CD may skip on one of my other players but not this one. I have not used it on battery although I have them in it for back up purposes. I haven't tried a USB product on it. I could give it a shot and let you know if you'd like as well as the repeat, if there is one?

this is not, despite being usb-powered, a midi controller, and is not able in any way to my knowledge to connect to an external device -- the usb connection is solely for power, so no, it is not compatible with anything, per se. This issue is addressed specifically in a couple of the reviews, also.

It's also power through the larger USB port. This package does not come with Power Supplies though, so for both the Rx and Tx you'll need to supply your own Power Supplies. This kit only comes with the USB cables.

You need a computer and software to use this controller. You can attach an external hdd to your laptop and open it up in the software you use and it'll work just fine. I work for a DJing company and that's what we do at work. However, we use DDJ-SZ, but it's still the same process.

It is not USB powered, you plug it into a regular power outlet. It does come with a carrying case for easy transport, though. It's larger and heavier than most "portable" drives. Good drive.

According to tech support today. Only externally powered USB will be guaranteed to work. Many can't be powered from the Toujch

Hi Eric. Never tried it. I thought the USB was for wired page turning. Fresh spare batteries a must at every gig.

I use the DMXKing ultraDMX Micro. It's a usb-to-dmx interface using my laptop as the controller. You can get free controller software, such as QLC+ (what I use), and since you probably already have your laptop as a part of your setup, you don't need to add a separate lighting console to clutter up your desk.
