The 4040 A is a compact integrated amplifier with built-in DAC from Creek Audio, built into a remarkably lightweight chassis with an exceptional damping factor. The 4040 A brings Creek Audio's considered engineering to a space-efficient, accessible integrated format.
Key specs that matter
One balanced XLR input and two single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 525mV. Output power is 55W into 8 ohms, rising to 110W into 4 ohms. Gain is 32dBu. Frequency response spans a wide 5Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 105dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.045%. Damping factor exceeds an exceptional 100. At a remarkably compact 215 x 60 x 255mm and just 2.2kg, the 4040 A maintains a space-efficient, lightweight integrated amplifier chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, tightly controlled amplification reflecting the exceptional over-100 damping factor combined with the strong 105dB signal-to-noise figure, packed into this remarkably compact, lightweight chassis.
Pairing
The built-in DAC covers digital sources directly without needing a separate outboard converter.
Alternatives
Creek Audio's own Voyage i20 offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
