    Absolute no simple question. Only real replacement - if you need all 10 channels on your Audio 10 and Phono preamps for DVS with vinyl - is a used Traktor Audio 10. There is no real replacement without some sacrifices if you want a new product.

    Currently there are only two real DVS audio interfaces in the market. Both only feature less channels. Pioneer DJ Interface 2 is one of them and supports only four channels / two decks. And then there is the Reloop Flux which supports six channels / three decks.

    As you wrote nothing about your use case, it isn't easy to consider alternatives to special DVS interfaces. But an option could be a recording audio interface with enough inputs and outputs. but these lack phono preamps if you need them. An other alternative could be mixer with integrated audio interface like Xone:96, Xone:PX5, DJM-V10, DJM-A9 or X1850.

    As you tagged your Post with "Traktor Scratch Pro 2" you also have to consider a Traktor upgrade to at least Traktor Pro 3. Before TP3 you needed Traktor Scratch certified audio interfaces for DVS which limits options seriously. If you really use Traktor Scratch Pro 2 this essentially limits you to a used Traktor Audio 6 or 10, Xone:96 and Xone:PX5. There is also listed the DJM-V10 as certified but as it was released around one year after Traktor (Scratch) Pro 2 was end of life I suspect it won't work with DVS capability in TSP2.
