i think i figured out the cracking issue on the djm 450
its not usb 3. why not. it wouldn't be much more money.
main culprit. the ad adapter is not a kettle plug. (the kind you use to connect lets says a desktop pc power supple to wall. or even a ddj rz. 4 years ago had a djm 450. had this issue and sold it. thought it was a fluke. yet again. finally just got a new one. made in may 2023. the crackling is still there. ive turned turbo off. have it connected to a very fast pc. and a fast laptop. same thing.
it also happens when using aimp. vlc, vdj, rb.
my system is a msi meg ace z790, 64 gbs ddr5 ram at 6000mhz. 5 m2 drives. all samsung 990s. NOT using magician. tried all sorts of of usb ports, etc. doesnt cracking when playing vinyl.
this seems to be a very common issue. but on the 750k. which is its bigger brother. it uses a kettle plug. no cracking. but good luck find a 750mk2 now. in germany its a 6 month wait.
any ideas?

Since you say it's like that with all software you try, seems like a hardware issue.
If happens with Rekordbox (the officially supported software), your best chance is to contact Pioneer and report, hoping they have some solution/workaround.

did see another maybe issue: on the djm 450. it is locked at 48000khz. and you cant change it within the mixers settings or on windows. i have had other mixers (the denon dnx1700 and the allen and heath db2) where this was an issue. but you could change it within the mixers settings. on 48000khz neither of those mixers would work at all. hmm.

seems to be related to turbo boots or pbo. this mixer i was talking about was made in 2017. just got a new one because i need space on my desktop. and it started the damn cracking a bit. i went into my bios at disabled anything overclocking. its running complete baseclock. seems a bit better. wonder why the djm 750mk2 which is basically just the same mixer doesnt do this. i think its because it uses a kettple plug. and not an ac adapter.
