Creek Audio - Destiny CD Player

The Destiny is not a replacement for the CD50mk2 but an additional model with a real step-up in performance. The Destiny uses an improved low phase noise, temperature-controlled, master clock oscillator. It uses separate, instrument-grade, OPA134 op-amps in the audio output to buffer each channel and the filtering of unwanted digital artifacts is improved. The op-amps in the output are also powered separately from their own low-noise regulators. Creek has also designed a truly stunning mains power supply for the Destiny, maintaining the isolation between digital and analog supplies.

"The Destiny is so easy to listen to, it's deceptively beguiling. This CD player has poise, subtle control and musical insight by the bucket load, with treble cleanliness and texture, which transcends its price point. Bass is well controlled, rhythms foot-tappingly precise and the sound stage has real depth and scale to it. There's really nothing to criticise and much to praise – an ideal choice for those that simply want to enjoy their music, rather than analyse performance." – David Berriman, Hi-Fi News, June 2006, www.hifinews.co.uk
