Were you clipping on any of the channels? Also, Positive on the high quality mp3's/wav is from a good source?
Hello,
I noticed something at my last gig. The DJ before me was using a DJM350 + CDJ350 setup and I noticed the sound quality in the venue was much better and less "muffled" than me and my DDJ-RX. Is this a known issue?
I always use high quality MP3's (320 kps) or WAV files to hit the decks and while playing with my own flash drives on the 350 setup the sound was also much better.
Are there certain settings I should tweak or is this a common problem. I just recently started bothering me because I payed a lot for my setup and I really hope this is an overcomable problem.
Thx in advance!

Jup, high quality (beatport stuff etc.) files all around because when I would use the same files on flash drives and CDJ-setup, the sound would be much better. How can I check for clipping? I always make sure I don't go into the reds on my mixer.
What are you connecting into?
Depends. Sometimes an internal soundsystem in a venue I monthly play. Sometimes rented speakers. Last weekend I played together with someone using a crappy Hercules DJ console and he even sounded better than me. Could it be a hardware problem and if yes, is there a way to get it checked?
You could send it for servicing, but perhaps if you have a chance to take it to a local Pioneer DJ dealer and do a comparison test vs. another unit yourself, you'd save the time and effort of shipping it off for service when it will likely come back as "no fault."
Try to also compare the output specs:
CDJ 350 - page 27:
DDJ-RX - page 15:
Seems that CDJ's goes more to lower frequencies.
@MiniBum > The output frequency capability would have nothing to do with the audio quality in question here. Besides, anything below 20Hz is generally regarded as sub-sonic because they are not within the audible range.
If anything is described as "muffled," that is typically to characterize the sound as having less high or mid-high (think putting your hand over your mouth and talking).
The DDJ-RX is certainly capable of producing a full-range audio output. I've used it myself side-by-side with a CDJ, both connected via RCA to a DJM-900NXS2, both running the same track (as prepared by rekordbox) and couldn't tell the difference when blindly crossfading between the two.
