However, it may have a dual meaning.  Since "HiFi" is a contraction of the term "High Fidelity", it may also be a reference to the loyalty Steven displayed towards the object in rescuing it from the burning Mechanus, or the fact that the stuffed animal was Steven's one constant companion during his captivity.
