Good day to all,

I'm a new forum member since today, but I've been using American Audio for years and years. From my first CD player (Pro-DJ1 13 years ago) to my current set-up, previous owner of stuff like DCD-PRO, PSX, etc. If i had to have a sponsor, I think I would be the ideal candidate for American Audio!!! Wink

I'm a very proud and happy owner of an SDJ-2, which is a wonderful machine that suits any need you have. However, because I work in clubs and sometimes mobile, based on past experience, I needed a backup, so I bought a Q-SD mixer to have a third reader in case something bad happens.

At first I was pleased, but got quickly back on earth realising this machine reads only SD cards and not SDHC. A few years back I wouldn't have cared since SD was the stuff!!! Being in 2010, SDHC litterally killed the SD market. Even 1GB cards now are SDHC, you have to try to find used ones to have standard SD. Would someone know if there is an upgrade or update available for the mixer to read SDHC? Any firmware? If not, if I was to take the firmware from my SDJ-2 and install it on my Q-SD, would it solve the problem or will it create an unfixable problem?

Thanks a million for your help! Smiler

Thanks, I've been told this by some technician via email, however, I was not pleased with the answer I got. I've been told this mixer is discontinued. I bought it 3 weeks ago and it still shows on American Audio's website. Why is it not listed in the "discontinued products" tab? The technician also told me since it's discontinued, they will never issue any firmware update.

So, resulting of this, I'm stuck with a backup player that I cannot use, which kinds of piss me off. Even 2GB cards now are all SDHC, SDHC killed the SD market. If I would have know I was about to buy a discontinued product, I would have tried to see if another avenue is available to me.

Speaki of hardware update... what if I was to replace the slot with a SDJ-2 spare slot? Could it do the job? Would I need to also change firmware to go along with the new slot?

Thanks again!
