What is Hifi?
High fidelity is the high-quality reproduction of sound. It is important to audiophiles and home audio enthusiasts.
Ideally, high-fidelity equipment has inaudible noise and distortion, and flat frequency response within the human hearing range.

Is HiFi sound good?
Hi-Fi audio equipment is considered the gold standard by many music lovers. While some consider the cost of professional-level sound too expensive, most audiophiles would consider hi-fi equipment as a sound investment.
Is Spotify a hi-fi?
It’s important to note that Spotify will be offering audio at CD, lossless quality, not to be confused with high-resolution audio, which is considered to be audio quality higher than 16-bit/44.1 kHz (which is what Spotify HiFi will stream at).
Is HiFi better than HQ?
HiFi means FLAC streaming and downloads, i.e. lossless files at max. 1,411kbps bitrate, usually about half of that, i.e. around 700-900kbps depending on the content of the track. HQ means MP3 at 320kbps = smaller files and streams.
