HiFi Score is built for people who already love albums — and for people who care whether those albums still have dynamics, stage, and midrange on speakers or headphones.

We do not pretend to be a mastering lab. Preview-measured PLR uses 30-second lossy excerpts. Sourced DR is cited. Community diary logs count when we have enough of them. Upgrade Paths name three next listens: similar, level up, and best sounding.

Editorial notes are drafted by a cheap LLM from a first-party fact pack, then gated for plagiarism and invented numbers. Rankings never come from the model.
