Introducing Creek Audios 2023 NEW CD PLAYEER. The Voyage 4040CD. This is Creek Audio’s latest CD player, designed to deliver the best possible sound quality from CD and other digital sources.
 
"With more than five decades’ experience in the audio business, I have witnessed many electronic developments including the introduction of the revolutionary Compact Disc Player in 1982. Creek Audio introduced its first CD player in 1990 with the highly acclaimed CD60. Creek’s latest 4040 CD is a no less important milestone”Mike Creek – Creek Audio" - MIKE CREEK
 
The 4040CD features a front-loading mechanism designed to reduce vibration and ensure that the disc is read accurately.
 
CONTROL
The 4040 CD’s intuitive user interface and sophisticated menu system are easily navigated by remote control or discreet front panel push buttons.
 
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The 4040 CD offers three types of digital outputs for the discerning audiophile, including transformer-isolated SPDIF (via coaxial RCA), professional balanced AES-EBU (via XLR), and optical TOSLINK.
 
DAC
The 4040 CD provides a useful built-in DAC for convenient stand-alone analogue audio output, via a pair of RCA sockets. However, to ensure the highest quality audio reproduction, it is recommended to connect to the 4040 A by SPDIF coaxial or optical digital output, to leverage the amplifier’s excellent ES9018K2M ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC.
 
POWER SUPPLY
The key to the 4040 CD transport / CD Player’s impressive performance and small size is found in its efficient and rock-steady external DC power supply. The multi-region power supply adapter provides a solid 12V DC voltage to feed the 4040 CD’s internal voltage stabilisers that power every part of the circuitry.
 
CD QUALITY
Properly recorded and well-maintained CDs can still provide resolution equal to most streamed music. The Compact Disc’s native 16 bit 44.1kHz format is adequate for most music replay and is not compressed. By comparison, most streamed music undergoes some form of compression to shrink its file size, with consequent losses. As a bonus, CDs provide a positive tactile experience and provide artist and title notes.
