xdj 1000 slips out of time when beatmatching 2 tracks

Hey all, just bought a new pair of XDJs 1000 and I noticed that they don't hold after beatmatching two tracks. I also noticed there was a post made about this in the past, so I just wanted to follow up and see if there is an update or something that fixes that issue, otherwise I think that in that case they shouldn't be so expensive if that's the way they work. Thanks in advanced.

If your beat grids are set properly, pressing the SYNC button will snap them together. Now I know what you're going to say "I don't want to use the sync! How dare you suggest that I use a tool designed to make my life easier!" but hear me out... You're using software, it shows the BPM, and chances are you're not matching by ear. Rather than spending the time to try and match numbers onscreen, why not press the one button that will do it for you, and pretty much guarantee that the songs will be beatmatched instantly, regardless of the resolution of the pitch fader or the accuracy of your movement of the slider.

Are you sure they are beatmatched? One XDJ could be at 125.06, while the other could be at 125.14, and both of them would display 125.1.

That's possible, but I play often on other cdj's and it doesn't happen as often as with these, they don't hold well.

I would be interested, because I suspected the same subjective one.
