Funny.
Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"?
Given the vast range of product and costs thereof in this industry, I'm curious where the "break points" are between levels of fidelity? Equipment can range from $100's to $100,000s+, so where is "MIDFI" vs. "HIFI"?
The ear hears from a range of 20-20,000HZ, but mid-range is certainly not at the 10,000HZ level.
just curious what you all think.

@cd318 +1 for Andrew Robinson more folks ought heed his "recovering audiophile" wisdom |
@audiotroy - 100% agree that a DACs sound is almost entirely derived from it's analog stage, however, the philosophy of the digital-to-analog conversion does play an important part and the execution of the philosophy is very important. As far as LowFi | MidFi | HiFi - I feel I land somewhere between Mid and Hi depending on the component. That being said, I have stumbled into a system that now has good synergy and I really like listening to it after years of buying this and that or the next big thing only to be disappointed in the end. I think someone else commented on this and synergy is the key. You can use older components or LowFi components and end up with pleasing sound that you enjoying listening to as long its it has good synergy. I wish I would have learned this long ago.

@dinov , reviewer Andrew Robinson put his personal classification based purely on price: budget: under $1K midfi- $1K to $3K hi-end- over $3K His product of the year for ALL categories in 2022 was the Polk R7 speaker, in the mid fi category. You don’t have to cost the most to be good.
