Numark recommends the Mixdeck.

D2 Director (pronounced “D–squared”) is a single rack–mountable console featuring one oversized LCD display coupled with a revolutionary user interface. The new plug and play design allows users to easily search for music on any USB mass storage device and add songs to a single master playlist. Using this playlist, songs are automatically directed to two built–in play control surfaces, ultimately simplifying the DJ performance experience.

D2 Director is complete with a ground–breaking new graphic user interface with real–time visuals of track profiles. Six soft touch buttons below the D2 Director's display screen provide the DJ with control over features such as song management and hard drive management.

The D2 Director includes one USB connector on the front panel and two additional USB ports on the rear panel, for a wide variety of music storage and sourcing options. This includes, but is not limited to, linking D2 Director to a DJ's iPod®, USB flash drives, and external USB hard drives. Use the included computer keyboard for simplified song search. In addition, the rear panel includes line level outputs for both players. The D2 Director supports MP3, WAV, and AAC (unprotected) formats.
