I have a preference for balanced connectors and cables so the RCA's were a bit of a let down for me. But if you take care when routing cables you should be fine.
It works very well with the upgraded drivers and Virtual DJ once I got the sound outputs figured out (it will freak if you don't).
Nicest thing about it is the analog-in connection on the left deck. Allows me to route the Hoster audio output from a normal sound card on a computer or laptop through the controller and be able to use the crossfader for both programs without intereference. I still output everything to a normal analog multichannel mixer and keep media player on my machines with a quick launch as well as a small MP3 player to connect as a hail mary.
I have learned recently that Virtual DJ is a CPU hog like many DJ programs. Make sure you have a reasonably powerful processor in your machine or it will lock up and maybe even shut down. An AMD Athlon XP 2.4GHz with 2 GB DDR Dual Channel 400MHz FrontSide Bus wasnt enough for one of my systems. Killed both Hoster and the DJ Program.

Mono, I use VDJ as well and could never get a way to control both sound outputs (Hoster and VDJ) properly through separate sliders. I would always get a crackling sound from one of the outputs.
Can you email me so we can talk about how you did it successfully? I am very familiar with VDJ and its preference settings and have ample ram and processor as you do. Please contact me.
