SpinnerBait writes "Professional DJs and House-Party Beat Masters alike, will certainly be interested in a new product that the folks at Hercules Audio are bringing to market shortly. Although you may remember Hercules for being one of the first in PC Graphics, HotHardware has a review and showcase up that takes a look at the new Hercules USB DJ Console. This little deck comes with dual mixing pads, for blending and scratching of your favorite MP3s etc. It also takes over as your main PC sound system, with full Dolby 5.1 capabilities, when plugged into any PC via USB."

USB may be good for digital cameras & the like. However, I doubt a serious DJ would want to rely on a USB connection, especially if he's doing a big show. It's true that USB is versatile, but it's not always the best solution. I certainly wouldn't trade it for digital audio links.
In general, I try to stay as far away from USB as possible.
