Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi?

Would it make any difference to you how I or anyone else here would categorize your gear? It shouldn't. There are no industry standards on which gear falls into which category. "One man's trash is another man's treasure."

I think your weakest link is in the lack of a source component ;) As far as a CDP goes, your best bet is to drop in to your local audio emporium and have a look-see at what he has in the rough price range of your other components, take a couple of them home and audition them in YOUR system. Maybe others can make less general recommendations based on their experience with your particular equipment.

Just enjoy your system and tweak it when you think you can make a real improvement

There'll always be someone with more toys, a fancier car, a bigger house, a bigger shlong, etc. And unfortunately there will always be those who use such things as the measure of a man, as well as the handfull who know that none of it matters one wit. Enjoy what you've got! Listen to more music! Get out of your head and quit trying to pidgeonhole yourself and the rest of the world.

....whew, almost tripped stepping down off that soap box!

Marco, that was a pretty big box you were standing on. :-)

Slov Dream, Great system. Now get the best CDP you can afford but which will leave you with enuf money to buy lot's of music. The music is where its really at!

Newbee - it's a "Preachmaster X-511" soap box; one of the highest there is, and arguably the finest. I'm going to have them bury me in it so I can take it with!
