Pioneer definitely beat other manufacturers to the punch about a decade ago and made their table-top CD player the industry standard in DJ booths around the world. "CDJ," technically a Pioneer model number prefix, is now the term used to describe any table-top player and sometimes even the DJs that use them. There have been quite a few feature upgrades over the years but no unit has ever been as powerful and versatile as the new flagship CDJ-2000 Nexus.
