Numark continue to cause a stir in the world of digital DJing with the HDMIX. Essentially a Numark DDS80 with a mixer strapped on, the HDMIX appears to be the logical progression from the traditional CD Mix family. We are all looking forward to getting our hands on this in the coming weeks and comparing it to a current setup along the lines of an iDJ2 and external hard drive.
