Actually the most useful thing you can get is a DJ friendly CD player setup.
The pioneers with the big wheels, and the top of the line Tascams are very
easy to learn to use. I have a very old Denon 2000 Mk 2 dual CD player and
once you get the basics down (finding the cue point) it almost seems easier
than beatmatching vinyl, because you only have to find a good cue point once.
Then beat matching comes down to starting at the cue point, judging whether
you're rushing or dragging, adjusting the pitch and recuing. Like 3
button pushes.
