yes.
an audiophile is defined by a perspective, not owning gear, or format preference.
it’s about wanting their music to sound as good as possible, and having an interest in high performance music reproduction.
some of the most ’audiophile’ people I know, don’t really have much of a system themselves. but their interest in the subject is passionate.
within the audiophile viewpoint, their are serious gear heads, serious room and system tweakers, and serious music collectors. and some that are all three.
some audiophiles mainly collect vintage gear and listening is not huge for them.
no rules.
