Our take on the Creek 4040 CD CD Player

The Creek 4040 CD is a compact, half-width CD player with an extruded aluminium front panel, built to match the 4040 A integrated amplifier. It plays standard Compact Discs and offers three types of digital output for feeding an outboard DAC. Its slim case and simple front-panel buttons plus remote control suit desktop and small hi-fi systems where a full-width player won't fit. Against full-size rivals it trades disc-drive extras and streaming for a tidy footprint and a clean digital feed; Creek's CD lineage dates back to the CD60 in 1990.

About the Creek 4040 CD CD Player

The Creek 4040 CD is a compact CD player for a home audio or desktop system. Its case has an extruded aluminium front panel and matches the Creek 4040 A integrated amplifier. It plays standard Compact Discs, which use the native 16 bit 44.1kHz format.

It has three digital outputs: transformer-isolated SPDIF over coaxial RCA, balanced AES-EBU over XLR, and optical TOSLINK. A built-in DAC provides stereo analog output through a pair of RCA sockets. For the best audio quality, connect it to the 4040 A by SPDIF coaxial or optical output, which uses the amplifier's ES9018K2M ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC.

The player is operated by remote control or front panel push buttons, with a menu system. An external DC power supply provides 12V DC to the internal voltage stabilizers. When no audio signal is sensed, the player powers down non-essential circuitry and draws less than 0.5W. The standby timeout can be adjusted in the menu.

Questions and answers

Does the Creek 4040 CD have a built-in DAC?
The player is described around its digital outputs rather than analog conversion. It is positioned to feed an outboard DAC, so check the output list before buying if you need analog outputs.
What digital outputs does it have?
Creek states three types of digital output. The exact connector types are not spelled out in the description, so confirm them against the rear panel before you buy.
Will it match the 4040 A amplifier?
Yes. The 4040 CD's diminutive case and extruded aluminium front panel are made to match the 4040 A integrated amplifier.
Can it play SACDs or MP3 CDs?
The description covers Compact Disc playback only. There is no mention of SACD, MP3 or other disc formats, so treat it as a standard CD player.
How do I control it?
Through a remote control or discreet front-panel push buttons, with a menu system Creek calls intuitive.
Is it a full-width component?
No. It is a compact, half-width design, which is the point: it fits desktop and small systems where a full-size player won't.
Where is the Creek 4040 CD CD Player cheapest?
At Audio Emotion Limited, for $926.56, as of our latest check.
