Is this setup considered “hifi” or do I need to sell my other kidney to achieve “hifi” status? (alien.top)

The amp has a hi res sticker on it, but the headphones and cable don't. So the amp is hifi but the headphones and cable is not. A few wireless headphones have a hi res logo on them, so they do exist.

Wouldn’t be Hifi without the $1,000 cable 🥶

Even my HD600's have a "Hi-Res Audio" sticker on the box so i would be surprised if those Focal's didn't

It's down to whether the OEM decided to pay the Japan Audio Society to use the mark or not. Focal did not.

Easiest remedy for this is to add stickers to the other components.

just put the sticker on your head and then you'll hear everything in lossless

Just put the sticker on your ears instead.
