As a chill electronica listener, should I stop at a Med-Fi system?


Hi All,

As an electronica music listener of chill, downtempo, folk, and similar music, is there any point of me seeking an ultra high resolution system...DAC, cables, power conditioning..etc?

If its all about the source material, much of the music i listen to is not an orchestra or live band with lots of microphones, so I'm assuming there's not a ton of imaging and micro-detail going on.

Is there, then, any purpose to seeking equipment that can resolve all of those little details?  Should i just stop at a healthy Mid-Fi System?

Some of the songs I use to show off my system are electronic. Bass, imaging, and soundstage can be incredible. If you heard Music Is The Drug by Bassnectar on my system, you’d want to take your system up a notch or two. I’m sure the same thing would happen with a lot of the music you like. I realize Bassnectar isn’t exactly chill.
