On the hardware side
Our users praised the Denon MCX8000 for its high-quality workmanship and all-metal construction that gives it a solid and pleasant look and touch. They mentioned that it may feel slightly bulky but the easy-to-read displays make up for it.
On the software side
Most people were singing praises of the autonomous USB functionality. Denon MCX8000 can play directly from a USB drive (flash drive or any external hard disk) so you are not tied to a laptop and that's a life-saver if your laptop suddenly gives up in the middle of a show.
If you have a clean directory structure, navigation is very simple. It was also noted that any USB drive must be formatted in FAT32, which may cause a bit of a headache if you are trying to format a 64-gigabyte stick in Windows 10 since FAT32 supports up to 32-gigabyte partitions.
The overall impression was that Denon MCX8000 is a controller that sits well within its competition, justifying its premium image with its extensive capabilities and strong craftsmanship.
