I have been reading about the Apple iPod Hi-Fi and have been surprised that it seems to be receiving a great deal of criticism on blogs and forums. Is the iPod Hi-Fi better or worse than other iPod stereo systems?
Please note that Apple quietly discontinued the iPod Hi-Fi on September 5, 2007. A great deal of the criticism directed at the Apple iPod Hi-Fi is no doubt because it is named “Hi-Fi”. In the press release for the system, Apple boldly states that it “adds true high-fidelity sound quality to the iPod” and provides “unrivaled sound quality, realistic sound imaging and optimal audio performance.” Photo Credit: Apple Computer Anytime a product is labeled as “high-fidelity”, audiophiles will weigh in with their opinion. Audiophiles tend to be extremely demanding and quickly dismissed the product. Although some audiophiles may listen to an iPod loaded with songs in Apple Lossless Format, perhaps connected to a high-end stereo system, many stay away from the iPod altogether, and some even avoid digital formats like CD, preferring the sound that analog provides. Even the definition of “high-fidelity” is open to debate, but it often is used to refer to a system capable of faithfully reproducing
