Creek Evolution 2 (￡650)

摘要

Creek Audio's Evolution CD player and matching integrated amplifier were upgraded to Evolution '2' status last year, this being the first time we've tested the player in its 'Evo 2' guise with Burr-Brown PCM 1796 DAC. It sports a slim profile and 12mm-thick polished fascia (black or silver finish available) with a blue filtered vacuum fluorescent display that is readable down the length of a listening room. Functionality is minimal however, the display showing only a track's elapsed time while playing, and the total number of tracks (and total playing time) when a disc is stopped. The display has three brightness levels (set via the handset) but cannot be fully disabled.
