Creek Audio CD-50 New sealed box

The EVOLUTION 50CD is a high-end DAC, with built-in
CD transport and not just a CD Player. It can accept a total of seven
digital sources, including an optional “Comet” BT module. It also has
two digital outputs and a custom Creek RC bus to extend the Infra-Red
Sensor or synchronise it with its matching amplifier.

To fully realise the potential sonic benefits of streaming
hi-resolution 24/92 music files from a computer, asynchronous USB 1
support is vital. The 2016 Evolution 50CD has been upgraded to support
USB 2. The 2016 EVOLUTION 50CD circuitry works with various computer
platforms but requires a custom ASIO driver to enable it to work with
PCs. The ASIO and USB 2 driver can both be downloaded from this webpage.

The highest quality audio output is available via balanced or
un-balanced sockets for maximum flexibility. Balanced outputs are
recommended if long interconnects are needed.  After extensive listening
tests, Creek Audio’s staff selected the best sounding output buffer
circuitry before finalising the design.

To maintain top performance, the custom CDM-1 slot-drive CD transport
is clocked by a separate, extremely accurate ultra-low jitter,
master-clock, situated right next to the DAC for bit-perfect
performance.

The EVOLUTION 50CD uses a powerful 25 Watt toroidal
mains transformer to maintain a low magnetic field and excellent noise
performance.  It features three separate windings, to power its analogue
and digital circuitry and custom CD transport. Multiple low-impedance
power supply capacitors and voltage regulators are used to optimise the
power supplies’ performance. Organic polymer capacitors are used to
decouple critical analogue and digital circuits and high-grade WIMA
polypropylene capacitors are used in the output filters.

This is a great buy for this price point and musicality for this price point is fantastic.
