  Good Points: Tough faders, fun effects, sharp cut-in crossfader for scratching (or long, for a blend).
  Headphone eq is as good as any I have used.
  I don`t use crossfade for any of my 4/4 work, and I have found that the up faders with their curve control are more than up to the job of a good seamless blend.
  Optical out allows a true digital output.(MD etc.)
  Filters and effects are very versatile.
  EQ's are a true kill.

  
  

  Bad Points: Without careful consideration of levels when entering or leaving the filter mode, you can make an ear or (more importantly) speaker wrecking screech. So care needs to be taken with the gain.

  
  

  General comments: I purchased my Numark PPD01 DJ Mixer with my first pair of SL1200MK2`s (£550 - what a bargain!) and was at first overwhelmed.
  
  
  The mixer was positive to feel; the weight of the unit itself was reassuring, the movement of all the faders, and the action of all the curve controls on the faders was faultless. From my Kack handed scratching to three minute blends, I had no problems getting a pleasing sound from this mixer. Considering the options with the digital and optical outputs, this is a mixer for anyone to consider. Three input mixes are possible,(or an MC). Now out of production, this mixer is an intermediate users dream, and if you see one snap it up.
  
  I have now owned my mixer for three years, and the only time I have removed the faceplate was to rearrange the phono/line switches.
  For more experienced (and wealthy) enthusiasts I am sure there are better options, but for durability and quality I have no doubt that this mixer will satisfy all bedroom heroes all over the world.

  Well, it is digital rather than high-end analog. There are no digital inputs for connection to Numark digital capable decks. Numark still doesn't do crossfader curves correctly...they still sum in the middle without the slight dip in each channel when in the middle. Stanton, of course, actually overdoes the dip on the SA-8, but Rane, Pioneer, and Vestax all do it correctly. THE HEADPHONE DAC/AMP/EQ SYSTEM DOWNRIGHT SUCKS! Zero low bass on the headphone jack. Very digital sounding headphone ...

  The Numark ppd01 delivers a crisp good quality of mixes and you can really hear the difference when upgrading from a worse mixer. This mixer is also value for money, as you get plenty of features to play with. You will not get bored with this mixer!!

  I had an Intimidation Blue mixer, but I found replacement faders hard to get so I upgraded to this, and so far it has been a revelation, my mixes are tighter, my control over levels has been more accurate. At present this is a mid to high end mixer so the bad points shouldn't be there, all the features mentioned were on the blue so they should be a minimum requirement.
