all depends on what CD players they have.
some of them suck, some are good.

pioneer and denon are usually pretty good, some people like numark too.

if i were you, i would try to find out what kind they have, and get some practice in when the club is closed.

If you have burned mp3s at 192 you probably wont tell a difference.

The first time i played on CD players was on a pioneer100s, to be honest, i didnt like it, and still dont like it.

BEWARE of the Pitch! (0.1% typically)

i finally got to play around with a pair of 100s and i thought it wasnt too bad, however, i still prefer my vinyl... its not bad for the tracks you can't get ahold of or whatever... i'm not too keen on the controls, but what can you do

I don't own a CDJ, but from what I've heard the pitch slider is disgustingly precise (a slight slift and the BPM changes to a million beats faster) so you might want to practise a little with it before you do live.
