Modern FLAC/ALAC · up to 96 kHz
The most capable USB family: FLAC, ALAC and PCM all the way to 96 kHz / 24-bit.
/// Trust pages · booth compatibility
Five deck families.
One honest matrix.
Every DigWash check answers one question per track and machine: does this file play on this deck as-is — and if not, why. This page publishes the exact playability data the tool uses, grouped into the five profiles every supported model maps to.
§ The matrix
What plays where.
Ceilings are per format: a lossy file also has to sit at or under the bitrate limit, a lossless file at or under the sample-rate and bit-depth limits. "—" means the format is not listed as supported at all.

- OGG Vorbis/Opus is not listed as supported on any CDJ/XDJ model we checked — which is why the default preset always converts it.
- These ceilings are deck limits, not quality bars: a 192 kbps MP3 clears every row above and is still a weak source. Where DigWash draws that other line is on the lossy page.
- When DigWash cannot identify a codec, the report says "can't tell" — it never fakes a "won't play."
- The CD-era family plays MP3 only (disc for all three; the CDJ-400 also from a FAT32 USB stick). DigWash can't produce MP3 copies yet, so it can't yet serve these decks.
- The same data ships inside the tool:
digwash machinesprints it, and every check report cites it.
Modern FLAC/ALAC · up to 48 kHz
Same formats as the 96 kHz family, but hi-res files above 48 kHz will not load.
FLAC (no ALAC) · up to 48 kHz
FLAC is listed in the manual; ALAC is not. An Apple Lossless m4a needs a copy.
Pre-FLAC USB · MP3/AAC/WAV/AIFF only
The family most booths still contain. No FLAC, no ALAC — the reason the default preset converts those to AIFF.
CD-era · MP3 only (disc; CDJ-400 also FAT32 USB)
MP3 only: the CDJ-1000MK3/800MK2 play MP3 burned to disc, the CDJ-400 also from a FAT32 USB stick. DigWash can't produce MP3 copies yet, so non-MP3 tracks stay unplayable here. Evidence is product-page level, weaker than a manual.
§ Beta call — turn specs into proof
Your booth is the missing evidence.
If you play on any of these machines, you can upgrade a row of this matrix from "the manual says so" to "a DJ watched it happen." Send us four things:
- Deck model — exactly as printed on the unit (e.g. XDJ-RX2).
- Firmware version — shown in the deck's settings/info screen.
- The file's facts — format, sample rate, bit depth (or bitrate for MP3/AAC); a DigWash check report has all of them.
- Pass or fail — did the deck load and play it, or refuse it (and how it refused, if visible).
Every report is logged against this matrix. Rows confirmed on hardware will be labeled as such, and rows that turn out wrong will be corrected in the tool and on this page — a wrong row here is a bug like any other.
