SUPERIOR SOUND
Drawing from over five decades of Alpine’s car audio engineering excellence and inspired by the flagship Ultra Hi-Res AlpineF#1Status system, the Alpine Status HDS-990 is engineered for uncompromising sound quality. Every internal component is carefully selected and precision-tuned to deliver exceptional clarity, dynamic range, and tonal accuracy. When paired within the Alpine Status ecosystem, the system is capable of true Hi-Res playback up to 192kHz/24bit for an immersive listening experience.
INCREDIBLE REALISM
Hi-Res Audio reveals musical details that standard audio formats simply cannot reproduce. The HDS-990 is designed as a dedicated high-resolution source, supporting 192kHz/24bit playback through a direct USB connection. This ensures ultra-clean signal transmission, allowing music to be reproduced with lifelike realism, precise imaging, and breathtaking detail that brings every recording closer to the original performance.
FLEXIBLE PLAYBACK
The HDS-990 supports a wide variety of digital audio formats, from MP3 to full Hi-Res files, offering maximum flexibility for modern listening habits. Users can connect smartphones or USB mass storage devices via wired USB, or stream wirelessly using Bluetooth® with LDAC support for high-quality wireless audio. Access Hi-Res content from popular streaming services such as Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon Music HD, or enjoy locally stored files from premium download platforms.
ICONIC DESIGN
Featuring a sleek commander unit with six tactile chiclet-style buttons, the HDS-990 provides intuitive control over music and sound settings. A high-definition display presents clear song and playback information for easy viewing. The compact design allows for dash mounting and seamless integration as a standalone digital source or as part of a factory or aftermarket head unit setup via RCA or 4-channel high-level inputs.
FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION
The HDS-990 utilizes a separate black box design that can be discreetly installed behind the console, under a seat, or in other concealed locations. This modular approach allows for clean, professional installations while providing extensive input and output options to integrate effortlessly into a wide range of vehicle audio systems.
OPTIMIZED FOR FULL SYSTEM
Designed to be the heart of the Alpine Status System (sold separately), the HDS-990 includes three sets of true 4V preamp outputs to support additional amplifiers when more power is required. For optimal performance, Alpine recommends installing the complete Status system together, delivering reference-level sound quality that stands just below the ultimate Ultra High-Resolution AlpineF#1System.
