Hell yeah this is hifi, I would love to be able to afford this combo right now lol

Also, hifi isn’t really an absolute thing. This is a subjective hobby in all of its aspects, as far as how much money you want to spend, what your specific sound preference is and if you want to spend more money for the amp than the headphones or viceversa. Though from what I’ve read online the setup you’re rocking could be endgame for many people. If not because the sound is almost as good as it gets, just because most people can’t afford the just to get any sort of upgrade from this.

You don’t show the most important part: Do you use an audiphile ethernet cable for 1000$?

BTW funfact: The german Standard for HiFi (which is old, existed until 1996) was called “DIN 45500” and it said that you need ±5dB from 250Hz to 6300Hz. I think your equipment may achieve that.

I’m fucking tired of claims that the only true hifi headphones are worth 1000 dollars or more. The hifi treshold is too subjective that there’s a hifi range that everyone can agree on. But if you ask me, hifi can be anything that sounds enjoyable to you and precise enough that you can easily hear the important things from your music.

People that spent more will never call it hifi, and people that dont have it yet always will

Not yet you need several headphones a turntable,separates ie tuner,amps,floor speakers,then more speakers,upgraded cables,isolation feet,cabinets,CDs internet player,apps,CDs files EQ Software,then more software for the hardware,room treatment acoustics or should I hàve just stuck to one headset & amp.Hehe enjoy your journey the sound is worth it,but used if your addicted 🤣

You have to install your own power station in order for it to be “HiFi”. Otherwise you’re just running off dirty power which will automatically downgrade HiFi to LoFi.

You can live with just one kidney, right?

If you will put some effort into aesthetics in your environment you can be considered as hi fi owner, for now you are just attention wh * :)

So long as you don’t listen to lofi, it’s hifi basically

Whether or not something is HiFi has basically nothing to do with price. HD58X and an apple dongle is HiFi for under $200 all in. There are $3000 headphones that sound worse than some $300 headphones. Don’t conflate price with sound quality.

Dude that’s better then my headphone setup and I make music 💀

you know there is a couple of arguments to this question

on one hand a decent FIO DAC with Ebay HD600’s can. be good

on the other you can go full analog turntable with a tube amp setup

either way both has its charms and merits

You need to go that far to listen YouTube music?

You could sell someone else’s kidney instead

Focal Elex’s are Hi-Fi. Yes.
