Feature:
The features defenitely have to be the icdx strong points, the ability to play of thumb drives, control midi applications, and read DVD's is a plus. Not to mention the Combination of Loops, Hot Cues, and Samples, definitely stands out from the rest, but aside from the other standerd options. The only flaw that hurts this unit is the most important thing - The Jog Wheel - it just doen't feel right, though not as bad as others in its price range it could be better.
Quality:
Ovarall the Icdx feels solid, with its rubberised sides its look like it can take a hit or two, the only down, once AGAIN is the jogwheel it just feels wrong and cheap, but then again, feel is subjective. my only question is why Numark always put cheapass faders on their products if your gonna charged me half a grand for a player at least put some decent faders on it.
Value:
Compared to other products in its price range as in know, in 2008, there are better options for a couple extra Jefferson's.
Desirability:
This player would have been a good option for a mid range deck, if the CDJ 400 hadn't come out, no i dont want it, not nomore.
Sound:
compared to a denon s3500, it doesn't sound quite as good, its alright. but not awesome
Ease of Use:
It took me a couple hours to get the feel and understand how the buttons and featues worked, the loops switch can be intuitive but it can be a pain to get it to loop correctly sometimes. but once you get used to the way numark does things, the workflow isn't to shabby.
Support:
Dont know, Hopefully i wont need them in the future.
Overall:
My advice is this, if you want a player for mixing and looping purposes not SCRATCHING, and overlooking its minor quibbles and ulgy faders, then the ICDX will do, but if you can afford a extra $100 bucks, maybe cheaper if you know where to look, then just Get a CDJ 400 and Forget it'. Capish'
