I think you are an audiophile, in the same way I am - you're enthusiastic about audio. I don't like the term only referring to those that pursue the foolish end of high-end audio. I love buying budget audiophile gear and trying to get a nice, clean sound out of equipment. On my desk now I have a couple of dongle DACs, a Topping DAC/amp, some cheap Micca speakers and a bunch of headphones, ranging from budget Sennheisers up to my most expensive purchase ever - a pair of Focal Clear headphones, which I bought on sale with a further discount due to a damaged box. :-)
