Rekordbox analysed USB not playing properly

There was a post on the denon Facebook page which might be related to this: The post was attributed to a Richard Talmage:

lam starting to hear reports from fellow engineers that music analysed with rekordbox can sometimes cause a slight drift in actual BPM where rekordbox slightly causes a time stretch half way through the song. Whilst this is ‘self- corrected’ by rekordbox itself on the analysis (and therefore you wouldnt notice it), the actual BPM is changed slightly with the raw PCM data (that is, the actual music file itself regardless of format). yet rekordbox does not show the BPM adjustment. This in turn can cause issues when using that same music file with any other program, usually the latter half of the music file is timestretched slightly. Is this another dirty trick by pioneer?
