My Rane 62 just arrived from AGIPRODJ and I have to say, this thing is SOOO BEAST. I've had a TTM57 for about 4 years and, all I can say is, WOW. The 62 is twice the mixer and more. It's everything the 57 wanted to be. Matter of fact, it's everything the 68 wanted to be as well.. Here are my favorite parts so far
First off: the sound quality on this thing makes the 57 sound like a Gemini mixer. The bass is definitely more pronounced, the highs are crisper, and the mids are no longer a jargled mess. Overall I would say the sound is a lot less harsh than the 57.
Secondly: The headphone output being a lot lower than my 57 means that I can finally turn the volume past 2 and not blow my eardrums out (Shure Se530s are very loud).
Third: the FX- WOW, that is all I have to say. This is what the 57 should have been effects wise.
Fourth: SP-6 send to AUX is amazing
Fifth: the individual filters for each channel and AUX work just as intended and have optional resonance controls within the software
Sixth: Compared to the 68, the cue buttons are actually comfortable and easy to use.
Seventh: build quality- hands down the most sturdy and well-built piece of DJ gear I've ever used in my life.
Eighth: Metal headphone jacks: much better than those plastic ones on the 57
Ninth: Ability to use DJ-FX in Serato via USB Insert is AMAZING
Tenth: The lights on this thing make it look SO SEXY AT NIGHT!
2 things I don't like:
1. cue and sp-6 launch button aren't mappable, yet....
2. this thing is way bigger than my 57. Doesn't fit my SKB case.
Also, I would say that I love the dual USB ports but in reality I'll probably never use them, unless one literally just BREAKS off.
Here is a pic of the two side-by-side.

That is all folks!
