Personally, I think the official description from Pioneer speaks best about the sound quality of this product "inherits the sound quality technology developed over the years for Pioneer DJ hardware to achieve the top level of sound quality in its class".

I use DDJ-T1 with Traktor Scratch Pro 2 version. This is definitely a perfect match - ALL of the features from Traktor can been mapped perfectly to DDJ-T1. I also have my two turntable timecoded to Traktor via Audio 10 to make DDJ-1 a 4-channel mixer with FX. In terms of latency, it's too minor to be noticed. It shouldn't be an issue to be worried for your purchase.

As a Pioneer fan, I've owned various set-ups including the top-notch club standard - CDJ-2000/DJM-2000. Although I have to admit the sound quality from 2000's is unbeatable, DDJ-T1 wins on the ease of use. This all-in-one controller is built in high quality plastic. The faders even feel MUCH better than DJM-700's. The jog wheels somehow are not as solid as high-end CDJ's, but they are good enough for both mixing and scratching.

If you are a Traktor person, you are not able to find a better controller that utilize all Traktor features. Native Instrument's S4 is truly a big competitor, but I want to say DDJ-T1 is definitely built in higher quality - because it's from Pioneer.

Yes, it's Pioneer - it's always a little more expensive. But you pay more to get higher quality! Besides, this is perfect for home practice for DJ's who gig with "industry standard" Pioneer gears - DJM's and CDJ's.

I'm not giving this a high rating only because this product is relatively new in the market, people are not able to find supports themselves easily from those discussion forums on internet. But I believe Pioneer's own technical support/service for DDJ-T1 would be consistent with other Pioneer products.

I've tried so products on the market to get myself a perfect 4-deck setup for practice at home. This is so far the best I can find.
