Creek 4040CD CD Player

“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

Own Your Collection

While Compact Discs may be a legacy format from the 20th century, many still possess a valuable collection of CDs. Your CD music is wholly owned, requiring no subscription to enjoy your favorite songs. Beyond the auditory experience, physical media allows you to browse through album booklets, enjoy the tactile feel of the paper, and use them as decorative elements in your home. Additionally, the distinct scent of CDs can evoke cherished memories, enhancing your connection to the music.

Matching Miniature and Exacting design

The Creek 4040 CD Compact CD player, featuring an extruded aluminum front panel, is designed to match the 4040A integrated amplifier. This fantastic CD player can used as a CD player or a CD transport. 

Thanks to technical advancements and circuit miniaturization over the past 40 years, heavy casework and power supplies are no longer necessary for precise digital music extraction from CDs.

Internal DAC

The 4040 CD player features a built-in DAC, offering convenient stand-alone analog audio output through a pair of RCA sockets, significantly enhancing the sound quality of digital sources. When used with the 4040A integrated amplifier, Creek recommends connecting via SPDIF coaxial or optical digital output to take advantage of the amplifier's superior ES9018K2M ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC.

Standby

When not in use, the Creek 4040 CD powers down non-essential circuitry to conserve energy. The timeout duration can also be adjusted in the menu.
