Alpine's HDS-990 digital media player doesn't do a lot of things you 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 includes a dash-mounted commander unit, so you can use it in tandem with an existing radio in your car or as a replacement.
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.ooking for a hookup?
The HDS-990 offers a 2-channel 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting a wired audio source, plus a 4-channel high-level input for connecting to your car's factory radio. It also boasts three USB 2.0 inputs (one up front, a pair in the rear) for connecting thumb drives or mobile external hard drives loaded with your high-res music files.
You also get a 4-channel high-level output and 6-channel RCA outputs (three pairs of 4-volt connections), along with both digital coaxial and digital optical outputs for keeping the signals clean when connecting to an amp or digital signal processor (DSP).
The HDS-990's built-in Bluetooth connectivity is a great way for you to stream music from your phone or other mobile device. Unfortunately, the HDS-990 won't support hands-free calling, so you'll have to depend on your existing radio (if you have one) for that functionality.

Really great sound quality. I'm still learning all the things that it can do, as I just got it two weeks ago. Will bring more news after trying it more
