I worked in a venue this past weekend which had a ddj-sz. I downloaded the driver and was plug and play.
One issue I noted though was that when I did the prelisten, it was being routed through a channel. So if a track was playing on decks 1 and 2, i had no way to prelisten to another track. I had a sx2 and 1000 now, so know this shouldn't behave like this, but it wasnt that big of a deal and was able to get through the gig.
Unfortunately I dont own an SZ so cant troubleshoot this at home, but was wondering if anyone has seen this and knows how to correct?

SZ works in External Mixer mode where the sound of each deck is routed on one channel of SZ's mixer and the mixing is done from the hardware.
Therefore it's impossible to route sound on the headphones directly.
On the other hand the other units you mentioned work in Master +Headphones and the mixing is done form the software. On this mode the software can send any sound it wants on the headphones as it access them directly

This is the way that traditional mixers work as well. Having the standalone mixer in the SZ (RX in my case) has a lot of advantages over a standard controller.
If you plan on doing club work, I recommend getting familiar with using the cue buttons and channels.

You can still pre-listen to tracks. You just use the physical hardware features for it. Like you would with any dj setup prior to controller setups
