Surely you cant use the term Hi-Fi in relation to a compressed format such as MP3 etc
Its not about the bass...but the detail contained in the higher frequency ranges...stick any compressed audio though a real house Hi-Fi and you hear whats missing compared to the original CD etc....
Ojk for a car and for portable....but not for the house

Depends. I doubt a true audiophile would bother with any compressed music system. It's not cheap, but I would think they would be more likely to use something like Yamaha's MusicCast Wireless Multi Room HiFi.
BTW, yes, I know that the Yamaha site talks about playing MP3s, but I have it on good authority this plays back WAV files as well.
