Auburn Hills, Mich. (Nov 1, 2022) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”)  is now shipping the Alpine Status HDS-990 Hi-Res Digital Media Player, HDP-D90 14-Channel Hi-Res Digital Sound Processor, and three Hi-Res Amplifiers including a Mono-Power Amplifier (HDA-M80), 5-Channel Amplifier (HDA-V90), and 4-Channel Amplifier (HDA-F60). The Alpine Status line uses trickle-down technology from the Ultra-High-Resolution AlpineF#1Status system that, when used as a complete system, achieves High-Resolution sound at a more approachable and accessible price point.

Incredible Realism

The HDS-990 is a high-performance digital media player that can reproduce music at the Hi-Res audio spec of 192kHz/24Bit, the highest quality playback via a direct USB cable connection.

The HDS-990 includes two components: a commander unit with the iconic Alpine six-chiclet design that controls various sound and music settings and a separate black box that includes a wide range of feature suites for inputs and outputs that allow for convenient integration into any type of factory or aftermarket sound system.

The commander unit can be used as a standalone music source or integrated with a factory or aftermarket head unit. With multiple digital source inputs, the HDS-990 can play a wide range of digital music file formats from MP3 to Hi-Res for flexible playback options.

System Powerhouse

The HDP-D90 is a powerful 14-channel digital sound processor. Custom-developed for Hi-Res playback, the processor has an internal sampling rate of 192kHz/64Bit and an ultra-wide audio bandwidth of 10Hz-110kHz for recording studio-level sound. A copper-plated chassis brings the signal-to-noise ratio to >110dB and minimizes noise and distortion during playback for music that is true to the source.

The HDP-D90 includes a 14-channel processor and a built-in 12-Channel Amplifier. Multiple source inputs allow for flexible system building with an option to retain a factory head unit, add an aftermarket head unit, and add the Alpine Status HDS-990 Digital Media Player. The processor can also receive music sent directly from a smartphone via Bluetooth® wireless streaming.

When paired together, the HDS-990 and HDP-D90 allow the listener to build and tune their ideal sound system. With 12-channels of amplified outputs, the HDP-D90 can be used as a standalone power source or using 10 channels of RCA output, can add Alpine Status Amplifiers for a customized system configuration, including the HDA-F60 4-Channel Amplifier, HDA-V90 5-Channel Amplifier, or HDA-M80 Mono Power Amplifier.

The Alpine Status Amplifiers were intentionally designed to provide impressive power output to the system while ensuring the purest audio performance. Design features like a high-efficiency digital circuit, copper-plated chassis, and black circuit board contribute to precise sound reproduction while Alpine-exclusive technology like a dual-negative feedback control circuit improves linearity for the most accurate sound amplification. Quick-connect power and speaker connectors make adding the Alpine Status amplifiers to a system easy.

The Alpine Status Digital Media Player, Digital Sound Processor, and Amplifiers are the next of eight more components to release from the Alpine Status line, following the HDZ-653 and HDZ-65C speakers that shipped in September, and are now available at Alpine Authorized retailers and at Preferred Online Stores.
