As I understand (I'm relatively new to this), those controllers do have sound card incorporated (so they act as output hardware, along with controlling function). All that I need is laptop + controller, no external USB soundcards... The main and cue output comes from hardware controller. Right?
I want to use the hardware with Virtual DJ 5.0.7, and I just need few recommendations. Already saw Behringer BCD2000 is quite bad performer? Seems that Numark Total Control does not have audio card incorporated (like BCD2000), it's just a controller, not audio interface? Ion iCue is too simple - with no ability to choose songs from playlist? DJ Console Mk2 - VirtualDJ® DJC Ed is somewhat ugly to me, and it seems it's made specially for DJC edition, how does it work with new Virtual DJ?
As you can see, I found myself in a plenty of option, really can't make my mind. Please help.

Look in to the Denon HC 4500, has built in sound card, native support with in VDJ, and now there are mappers for it, do a search in the forum. It also can act as midi controller, and you have the ability to scratch with it as as well

Thanks reggieward, but seems like that machine is little too expensive for me... Any other recommendation? :)

Don't be fooled by the looks of the mk2, it is a very reliable piece of hardware. However the Hercules RMX is much better. If you want good scratching or good timecode response I'd try something better, otherwise the DJ Console series by Hercules is great;^]
