Is this a direct replacement

Is this a direct replacement for the Evo range?

RE: Creek - what happened to...

Before Xmas I contacted Creek about the new Evolution 50D CD player/DAC, as this was originally due out last summer along with the 50A amp. They informed me that if everything goes according to plan the 50D will be available from the end of February.

According to another forum where the designer of the Evolution 50D mentioned, the products are in the production line now, waiting for the firmware to be ready.

So the products should be available soon.

Thanks. Don't think they'll be at the Bristol show though as they never seem to appear there.

Find the new website really tricky to use. The top of the home page is missing. Anyone else having this problem?

" new Evolution 50A has won a Diapason d’or award for the best sounding amplifier at its level".

 

When will WHF review it?  HiFi Choice already have a cliff hanger about really good sound.

Did WHF even review the original Evolution or the Evolution 2? I don't think they did and I wouldn't hold my breath about them getting a review sample of the Evolution 50. But it will be really cool if they surprise me.
