Alpine - HDS-990 Status Series High-Resolution Digital Media Audio Source (Does Not Play Discs) - Black/Gray

Alpine's HDS-990 digital media player doesn't do a lot of things you'd expect from a traditional head unit, and that's okay. What it does do is deliver impeccable playback of high resolution (up to 24-bit sampling depth/192kHz frequency response) digital music files, turning your car's cockpit into something like a recording studio - just without those pesky hourly rates. Alpine utilizes some of the same technology found in their legendary F#1 Status system in the HDS-990 - you can hear for yourself just how well it reproduces sound, thanks to its high quality materials and fine craftsmanship. The HDS-990 include a dash-mounted commander unit, so you can use it in tandem with an existing radio in your car or as a replacement. Alpine designed its status system components for high-resolution audio playback. Their Status Series digital receiver, amp with digital signal processing, speaker, and subs were designed to work toghether and play your 24-bit/192kHz digial music streaming files with high-quality, studio-level purity and sonic fidelity. The HDS-990 consists of two parts: the "black box" source unit which contains the inputs and outputs, and a "commander unit" with built-in display which lets you control the action. The source unit fits in many traditional single-DIN (2" tall) dash openings, or you can plug it into your existing radio using RCA connections or 4-channel high-level inputs and install it in your dash or another out-of-the-way location. The Dash-Mounted commander unit offers a high-definition screen, six of Alpine's classic control buttons, and a rotary dial for making volume adjustments. The commander unit includes a case mount for a permanent installation on your dash. The HDS-990's built-in 4-channel amplifier offers 25 watts RMS per channel to power your speakers, so you can power your factory speaker system without adding an outbaord amp. If you want to add more juice, the HDS-990's ready for expansion.
