Numark Mixstream Pro Go vs Denon DJ Prime GO+

Both are battery-powered standalone controllers running Engine DJ, so the real split is speakers versus I/O. The Mixstream Pro Go has built-in speakers, Wi-Fi streaming and a mic input, which makes it the easier grab-and-go unit for practice and casual parties. The Prime GO+ drops the speakers but adds a line input, booth output, dual headphone jacks and a metal build, so it suits DJs who plug into a house system. Owners of both praise the Engine DJ workflow; the Prime GO+ is the sturdier, more pro-connected deck, the Mixstream Pro Go the more self-contained one.

• Choose the Mixstream Pro Go if you want speakers, Wi-Fi streaming and a mic input in one battery-powered unit you can carry anywhere.
• Choose the Prime GO+ if you will plug into a PA or booth and want a metal chassis, a line input and dual headphone outputs.
