I noticed that when I first purchased my DDJ 1000 I was running RDJ 5.2.3 or maybe 5.2.2 and DDJ 1000 firmware 1.04, and when playing songs I noticed a obvious cracking distorted sound, particularly when the song on my left deck was live. I did some research and eventually downloaded 5.3 Beta with the DDJ 1000 9.05 firmware and same results. The only way to eliminate this noise was to raise my buffer above 128 opposed to running it at 64 sample rate. Keep in mind that I run both my DJM S9 (DVS) and my DDJ RZX at 64 sample rate without one single hitch, and if you know anything about the DDJ RZX is that its a resource hog.
Anyway, I downloaded the official version of 5.3 yesterday along with firmware DDJ 1000 and the same results, however, I can now run it at a lower rate of 92 samples. My current laptop is a Mid 2014 15" inch MacBook Pro that runs all my dj equipment at the tightest/ lowest settings allowed except for the DDJ 1000.
I just can't imagine that the DDJ 1000 is more demanding than my DDJ RZX, or I can be mistaken. Is anyone else running into the issue of hearing distortion with the latest version of RBDJ with a laptop that should run it without a hitch?

I'm experiencing the same issue, bought my ddj-1000 2 days ago, and I'm still not able to get rid the cracking sound. I'm running Rekordbox on a hp pavilion power 15-cb032nd. Comparing the specs and the requirements, there shouldn't be a problem at all.
I'm sure everything is running the latest versions (rekordbox & the firmware). However, I'm not able to change the sample rate of my buffer, or I'm looking at the wrong place?
Can't help you solve the problem right now, but I'll let you know when I figure it out.
I've got the same issue I've emailed pioneer a few times but they have stopped responding to me I've had the ddj 1000 for 5 weeks now and I'm still unable to use it due to this issue
There are several soluces, one that can work sometimes, (not everytime) :
Again, i've a better workaround than OS tweak, and a global soluce, but i'm still very angry that's why i don't share it here...
