An audiophile is someone who loves listening to music so much that he/she will commit discretionary resources to maximize his/her listening experience.

This is positive.
au·di·o
ˈôdēˌō
noun
sound, especially when recorded, transmitted, or reproduced.

-phile
combining form
denoting fondness for a specified thing.

Notice it's fondness for sound, not necessarily music.
