Features
advertised as a cd turntable to play all of your digital music including your ipod. However, users need to be careful and read which generation ipods will work with the icdx. i know mine didnt. but being able to use flash drives and mp3 cds is such a great feature of this product. bpm counter is nice addition but sometimes is a lil slow. onboard effects are great, plus the looping, hotcue and sampling modes are great.
Ease of Use
other than having difficulty trying to work my ipod with it i found it very easy to use. plug it in and start playing around to get what you want.
Quality
looks super nice. finished well, sturdy. the jog wheel seems a lil plastic but still is very sturdy. nice and heavy.
Value
for an entry level cd turntable it's got some great features for the price.
Manufacturer Support
contact once with the ipod connectivity dilemna. the first guy to help me sent me blind links through email. that was not very fun. called and spoke to a guy that really didnt feel like taking the time to help me. the website is kind of helpful with information, plus you can upgrade quite easily, but it took the customer service rep on the phone to tell me where to go on the website to upgrade and other things.
The Wow Factor
it's got some flashy features, looks pretty space age with all its lights blinking and flashing.

"This would of been a good option, if the CDJ 400 haven't come out."

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'
Sound
compared to a denon s3500, it doesn't sound quite as good, its alright. but not awesome
Features
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.
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.
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.
Manufacturer Support
Dont know, Hopefully i wont need them in the future.
The Wow Factor
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.
