Creek Evolution range available in Australia
The Evolution range from Creek is now available in Australia through Audio Dynamics. The Evolution 50A, Evolution 100A and Evolution 50CD are part of a new generation of Creek products designed for digital connectivity and uncompromised flexibility.
The 50 series is the first Creek product to feature an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display. This white on black display provides higher clarity and resolution than a normal display and offers a wide range of customised graphic symbols. Display brightness levels can be changed or turned off when not required via the menu system.

The Creek Evolution 50A amplifier is slim, stylish and is able to be hardware-upgraded through the use of software upgrades and differently purposed modules. An ingenious new push-button design has been developed to offer tactile feel and optimum user-friendliness. At the heart of any good amplifier lies a good power supply; the Evolution 50A uses a massive 200 Watt toroidal mains transformer with separate windings for high and low current analogue and digital circuitry. This produces a good power to weight ratio and low magnetic interference. Featuring a pair of Sanken 15 Amp power transistors, with built-in thermal compensation for rapid bias tracking performance, the Power Amplifier circuit has very low output impedance and can produce high output current. This combination will provide exceptional speed and control with most loudspeakers. For Vinyl fans, a Sequel 2 Phono pre-amp can be plugged-in, substituting Line Input 1 for Phono. In addition, Line input 5 is located on a Smart- Slot removable panel. Should the user want to fit a Tuner or DAC module.
 Creek Evolution 100A
The Creek Evolution 100A amplifier maintains its family resemblance to the 50A and is housed in a similar slim case with engraved front panel and solid metal control knobs. With increased power compared to the Evolution 50A, it uses a massive 360 Watt, low profile, toroidal mains transformer. The design improves filtering with the multiple windings for high and low voltages and current that also separates the power amp, pre-amp and digital circuitry. This helps to produce this amplifier’s powerful and accurate sound despite its friendly size. Creek describe the Evolution 100A as “the most sophisticated and reasonably priced amplifier Creek has ever made.” In addition to greatly increased performance, thanks to an ingenious new circuit design, the Evolution 100A has been equipped with two sets of high quality loudspeaker binding posts, with local and remote switching for A & B outputs.
Creek Evolution 50CD
The Evolution 50CD is a high-end DAC with built-in CD transport (it is not merely a CD player). It can handle a total of six digital sources (including CD) and has two digital outputs. In keeping with the matching integrated amplifier, both balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs are offered for a maximum flexibility. This is the first Creek digital product to feature two top-of-the-range Wolfson 24 Bit 192 kHz DAC ICs, running in double differential mode, to extract the maximum possible performance. The Evolution 50CD uses custom, low jitter, clocks for top performance at all sample rates. A plethora of inputs and outputs make the Evolution 50CD one of the most well equipped and seriously high-end DAC products on the market, despite its competitive price. The EVO system remote handset controls all the functions of the Evolution 50CD range, including the Amp, CD/DAC, Ambit Tuner and Ruby DAC. The Evolution 50CD range also has an optional IR extender to enable the products to be hidden away, but still operable via remote control. The USB circuit is modular to allow for future upgrades, as the technology is constantly evolving.
