AMAZING SOUND QUALITY!!!! if u want a setup that is gonna sound amazing, get 2 Denon S5000's along with the X1500 Mixer. i bought mine about a year ago. and any forum i see about the S5000's i have to comment because i know it makes a difference for beginners.

AMAZING!!!! Hot Start points (really helpful). Alpha track is awesome (listen to and scratch 2 songs off of the same CD). TONS of features. but what i love the most is the 0.00 % pitch rate. not many people know about this. it is obtainable by going through the menu. really helpful once again. and the platter. OMG, dont even get me started, it feels just like vynil.

this unit looks very complicated to somebody who doesnt know what they are doing, but when u know what u'r doing, this unit is like a walk in the park.

AMAZING!, thats all i have to say. i love the unit, the rubber buttons on it are really really good, cuz your fingers will never slip on them, and the buttons will tilt with your finger, really really good feature.

expensive unit. not the best for VALUE. but definately the BEST OF THE BEST.

had a problem with one of my S5000's when i just bought it (the platter was loose, therefore it was over spinning. and they sent me a brand new unit right away

all i have to say is, I OWN 2. and my complete lineup is all Denon.. Denon S5000's (x2) Denon DN9000 Denon DN X1500

I have owned the DNS-5000 for about a month. When scratching very high pitch sounds (trumpets etc.), it sometimes sounds a little synthisized and even then barely noticeable. The features are to die for. There is also an O.S. update available from Denon for the DNS, download it. Installing the new O.S. is a breeze. The looping capabilities are outstanding. It also has multiple audio outs as well for even more flexability. Even the "platter" has grooves like a real 12". I have also used the CDJ-1000 and the CDJ-800, the DNS-5000 stomps a mud-hole in there ass.

Came with an great manual that has multiple languages. 2 sets of RCA cables, small allen wrench, washer and screw, just in case when you are changing to a personnalized slip-mat and you drop or loose the original screw.

The case is basic, yet very rugged. ABS plasic and steel construction. The LCD screen is bright and clear, the buttons are all lighted and even in a dark club, you can see everything on it. The constuction is a work of art, and in the dark, it is almost mystical with rich color and light from the control buttons.

DNS-5000 is a better buy and better quality than it's "Competition" by far! If you buy a different piece of gear that does the same thing, you just wasted your money my friend.

Yes, I sent and email to the company asking if they DNS-5000 had a midi input or usb jack, they were polite and replied back very quickly.

I think it was designed by futuristic aliens who worship DJing and shared there knowledge with humans.

Twisted Hip-Hop/Brain meltdown music.

one of the best turntablrels i have ever owned

features could have had better but for the price you cant beat it

one of the best

i support it

DJing for 7 years

everything

The quality of sound is great. The seamless loop sounds perfect

The features are great... just make sure you know what you are doing.

This is a very high quality piece of equiptment. The technology is superior, along with the reliability.

This is very worth it for the professional dj. Save and buy something useful and durable insted of something quick and cheap.

I have dealt with them before, rarely, however, since their products are very durable. They are willing to help and are very good with customer service.

I wanted it and was determined to get 2 of them... I ended up taking out a loan.

ALL

It allows alot more flexibilty in editing sound during recording, also it has very good playback quality. Have used the Pioneer piece, the Denon surprisingly surpasses it convincingly.

House, Club, R&B, HIP-HOP

use a stanton mixer for good quality mixing

good selection of setings

good selection of quality utilities that are useful for the profecional dj.

yes, as I say its all worth its price because of it's good quality.

yes, they are freindly and very understandable to talk to.

its good shape makes it look like a interesting thing to look at.

house,rap,hip hop

Using the scratch disc for cueing is super responsive, better then any vinyl direct drive Turntable; sadly slowing down and speeding up the platter fells just like a belt drive Turntable, without being able to do slight adjustments using the center spindle. I learned to use the pitch +/- buttons, witch work pretty good. The other main feature: Alpha Track, works alright if you really need to use it, but the fact that you have to adjust the pitch with parameter knob, takes away from the 2 decks in 1 appeal.

The Deck feels very sophisticated. The only other CD Deck I messed with (in store) was the Technics one, witch felt really flimsy.

It's cheaper then Pioneer, Numark, and Technics. Has More features (Alpha Track, MP3, Upgradebility, Swappable CD Tray. If the platter felt more like Numarks, there was a second pich glider, and SD Card Support, then this Deck would be perfekt

It looks really cool; I hope it will look even better with a silver face plate. I haven

Drum and Bass

All CD Players have dynamite sound at this price!

Great features for everyone! Remix artists, producers, serious DJ's will love this unit! (Features the Denons have that you won't find with the so-called TOP OF THE LINE pioneer CDJ-1000's) A/B Splice for cutting parts of a track seamlessly VERY USEFUL! Alpha Track- like having two players in one! Makes this unit a better value than any other CD/MP3player. WHY? Think about it! On any other tabletop or even a dualcd player you would have to have two copies of the exact same cd in order to mix tracks from the same album! DN-s5000 saves you from making copies of all of your media. And if you are not a jerk at your "party" gigs, meaning you that you will allow the host to give you his/or her CD to play by request, then its easy smooth mixing from one track to another on that same CD with just one DN-S5000 unit since you won't have two copies of it! This should be a standard in all DJ CD players! VERY USEFUL! Mirror Mix- plays your track with a specified time Delay between the Alpha track and the Main on the same exact song! 4 HOT STARTS/SEAMLESS LOOPS w/ A/B piont trimming! VERY USEFUL! 2 on-board SAMPLERS Tail-Echo- fades out 1/2-1/1-or 2/1 beats of music when the track is paused! VERY USEFUL! DUMP- Plays the track in reverse for up to 4 seconds and returns to foward with out loosing elapsed time! GOOD FOR REMOVING FOUL LANGUAGE AT UNDER-AGE PARTIES on-the-fly! BPM TAP BUTTON- always make sure your CD decks let you TAP!!!! The Pioneers drop in value since they dont have this. INTERNAL MEMO.- saves any hotstars/loops/ect. in the unit! NO MORE VIDEOGAME-STYLE MEMORY CARDS!!!! ACTIVE ROTATING SCRATCH PLATTER!- best vinyl feel! along w/ DN-S3500's ok im finished

Very well built, and are pretty consistant units. All it take is a friendly user, and these babies will last a long time! Don't drink near em, or let people smoke over them at gigs! Tell to BACK THE F**K OFF!

I think I got the best deals and value over all of my Denon equipment. I think you will too, so buy a pair! Trust me, I know a lot for my age and I know I am right about the DN-S500's!!! :-)

I bought a DN-X1500 mixer (best match for a pair of 5000's) from DENON and they were very late shipping it over this past X-MAS which cost me a small $150 gig! So they understood and told GT Center to give me a free pair of HP-1000 headphnes along with knoking $200 of the mixer, so I paid $700 total! Yeah!

It is a very apealing model and It attacks SO MANY WOMEN!!! I can't tell how how many G-D honnies were checkin my sh*t out! Actually It might just be me! :-)

I do it all!

ALL!!!

great sound,and quality.

most useful features: dump/mirror mixing, wish it had sonar like the CDX

I think this is one of the best made DJ products, the platter is DIE-CAST like a 1200 turntable, and the buttens are rubber,but extreamly accurate, (no delays).

this product should be the most expensive CD t-table but asking 8or 9 hundred dollars is rediculas on any CD table. The CDJ-1000MK2's are a joke! $999.99 for the CDJ-1000MK2's! YOu are paying for the Pioneer name. the CDJ series are SH*T compared to the DN-s series or even the Numark CDX.

no, I say 10 cause I"m not sure and don't want to hurt the ratings

This is a bueatiful unit, and is very impressiveat first sight with features and all. YES I WANTED IT AND I GOT IT (THEM)

Sound Quality is great when it's able to read a disc correctly.

Features are also great when software gliches don't occur. Scratch sound doesn't sound or feel like vinyl.

Reliability is the worst of the worst. Unpredictable at times. Upgraded with supposedly new and improved plug ins for certain features and settings and that seems to have made this player worse. Don't depend on every disc to be read. You'll have to insert and eject the disc at least twice for it to be read or reset(Turn On/Off) the machine to operate correctly. All this means is that if your a dj who's constantly in the mix changing discs or have last minute changes in songs this is not the player. TRUST ME.

I regret paying full price for this unit. If I would've known better or known ahead of time. Oh well, here is chance. Totally not worth it.

One player has been repaired twice and still continues to have problems. Denon will usually tell the consumer it's user error instead of taking fault for their own products. Just check out the unofficial website. www.dn-s5000.com

Layout is o.k.

DJ

Hip-Hop/ R&B/ Reggae, Etc.

Sounds great, sounds like a traditional turntable when it comes to scratching.

It has every feature you could dream up besides a cup holder.

This is the best quality I've seen.

Seems pricey at first, but definatly worth it.

Definatly an appealing machine.
