Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"?

The other thing is the labels change very quickly, a "high end" dac from 5 years ago can often be thrashed by a more recent "midfi dac" from today. 

I like the term Thomas uses in this video about high end dacs vs the new affordable dacs that are, "good enough" which sums it up:

the diference is not related just to price

but rather design intent and execution

low fi is generally related to companies using inexpensive parts and lacking a dedication to sound quality usually sold based on features/measurements

midfi companys's pursue sound quality over just cost usually uses better parts then low fi

highfi companys'devoted to sound quality over anything else

that video was laughably bad

a dacs sound quality is much more impacted on the dacs analog stage then the chip set

Ditto!

@audiotroy , what did you think of the video by Thomas?
