Choosing dj equipment gets easier when you start with the way you want to mix. A turntablist using DVS needs a very different tool from someone learning on a two-deck controller, and a portable controller with stems control serves a different purpose again. The four choices here span a wide listed price range, from an entry-level Numark controller to a Phase wireless DVS system, with two Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 options clustered in the middle.
Quick take
- Best fit for DVS and turntable-style control: Phase PHASE-ESSENTIAL Wireless DJ Controller System for DVS(2 Remotes) - B-Stock, because it is built around wireless control for DVS setups and includes two remotes.
- Best fit for a white two-deck DDJ-FLX4 layout: Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-deck rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller - White, Limited E, with two channels, deck control, Smart Fader, Smart CFX, and software Beat FX.
- Best fit for a black DDJ-FLX4 with broad port detail: Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-Ch DJ Controller Rekordbox / Serato DJ Lite PROAUDIOSTAR, which lists PC/Mac compatibility, tabletop form factor, and several input/output ports.
- Best fit for the lowest listed price and portability: Numark Mixtrack GO ULTRA-PORTABLE 2-DECK DJ CONTROLLER WITH STEMS CONTROL, a new double-deck controller with stems control and USB-C power.
Listed price comparison
The spread is wide: the lowest listed item is 74% below the highest listed item. The two Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 choices sit close together, while the Phase system is clearly the highest listed price and the Numark is clearly the lowest.

Concise product notes
Phase PHASE-ESSENTIAL Wireless DJ Controller System for DVS(2 Remotes) - B-Stock
This is the specialist choice for DJs who already think in DVS terms. The system is described around two wireless audio remotes, a receiver, RCA cables, USB cable, and magnetic stickers, with the core idea being control of DJ software without timecode vinyl or turntable needles. That makes it the clearest match here for turntablists who want a wireless DVS control system rather than a tabletop controller. The limitation is just as important: the title says B-Stock, the condition is used, and the role is not the same as a beginner two-deck controller with jog wheels, pads, and a mixer-style layout.
Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-deck rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller - White, Limited E
The white DDJ-FLX4 is a good match if you want a two-channel, two-deck controller with rekordbox and Serato wording in the title and description. Smart Fader and Smart CFX are highlighted for easier transitions and effects control, and the layout includes gain, 3-band EQ, Color FX, channel faders, a crossfader, jog wheels, loop functions, performance pads, and transport controls. Its main limitation is condition: it is listed as used. It is also the slightly higher of the two DDJ-FLX4 listings, so shoppers comparing the two Pioneer choices may focus on color, condition wording, and the specific title details.
Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-Ch DJ Controller Rekordbox / Serato DJ Lite PROAUDIOSTAR
This DDJ-FLX4 option is the one to focus on if you want the black version with more connection detail called out. It lists PC/Mac compatibility, tabletop form factor, frequency response of 20-20000 Hz, USB input, USB output, 3.5 mm output, and 6.35 mm input wording. The description also highlights Smart Fader and Smart CFX for mixing transitions and effects. The tradeoff is that the condition is open box, so it is not the new item in this group. Compared with the white DDJ-FLX4, the functional theme is similar, but the title and attributes point to a black controller sold under PROAUDIOSTAR wording.
Numark Mixtrack GO ULTRA-PORTABLE 2-DECK DJ CONTROLLER WITH STEMS CONTROL
The Numark Mixtrack GO is the simple pick when portability, two-deck control, and stems control are the main draw. The title calls it ultra-portable, and the description adds Stems Control with pad mode plus dedicated Instrumental and Acapella buttons. It also mentions Fade FX, Bluetooth MIDI control, USB-C connection, USB bus power, and compatibility wording for Serato, VirtualDJ, and Algoriddim djay Pro. The limitation is software-related: the description states that some software use requires a license, including Serato DJ Pro and VirtualDJ. It is the only new-condition item among the four, which separates it from the used and open-box alternatives.
Final recommendation
If you need DVS control for a turntable-focused setup, choose the Phase PHASE-ESSENTIAL Wireless DJ Controller System for DVS(2 Remotes) - B-Stock. Its USD 379.97 listed price is the highest here, but the product description is also the only one centered on wireless remotes, a receiver, and control without timecode vinyl or needles.
If you want a conventional two-deck digital controller, the two DDJ-FLX4 choices are the closest comparison. Pick the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-deck rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller - White, Limited E if the white limited-edition title and used-condition Pioneer DJ listing fit your preference. Pick the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-Ch DJ Controller Rekordbox / Serato DJ Lite PROAUDIOSTAR if you prefer the black open-box version with the clearest port list and tabletop form-factor wording.
For the lowest listed price, the Numark Mixtrack GO ULTRA-PORTABLE 2-DECK DJ CONTROLLER WITH STEMS CONTROL is the standout at USD 99.00. It is the practical choice for shoppers who want new condition, two-deck control, stems controls, USB-C power, and Bluetooth MIDI wording without moving into the higher-priced FLX4 or Phase options.
