Creek CD 42 CD Player - High-end Audio

Soundscape Product Information

CD 43

COMPACT DISC PLAYER

DISCONINUED - SOLD OUT

Having established a loyal following over the last 12 years for high quality amplifiers and tuners, Creek Audio are pleased to announce a CD player resembling the 4240 Integrated amplifier and Pre-Power combination. Over a period of a year, research and development has resulted in a product that combines specialist parts from a range of different suppliers. A rugged laser transport and digital control circuitry has been matched to the highest quality 1 bit, 64 times over sampled delta-sigma D to A converter. It features digital de-emphasis and low residual noise, requiring no analogue output filtering. This results in a fast operating CD player with sound quality, matching much higher priced players, in the true Creek mould.

Front panel controls include Play, Stop, Pause, Skip Forward, Skip Back and Open/Close functions are supplemented by a modest sized full feature remote control handset. Track position and other useful information is displayed on a liquid crystal, back-lit display.

To provide a useful upgrade path, the 1 bit D to A converter, high quality master clock generator and AES-EBU digital output are sighted on a separate printed circuit board that can be easily removed and replaced by new or emerging technologies in the future.

A high grade grain-oriented steel transformer with separate windings, feeding separate stabilized power supplies for digital and analogue sections, provides the highest degree of isolation and low noise performance possible.
