Using Deezer Hifi because of my Highend equipment I was very amazed when I was streaming some albums from the 2L label,  mostly classical and choir. Normally it's the usual 44.1khz but suddenly... 352.8 khz!  And also MQA !! . Switching back and wordward to other albums( checking  the system wasn't cunfused) every 2L album gave the same highend results.

Dear Deezer,  what's going on???  

Thank

Jakob

    Hi Mark. 

    Very Nice system!  Beautiful Lyngdorf stuff. 

    And indeed MQA!  but also 352.8kHz! 

    Many albums of the label 2L are in that same format.  

    I still have no answer from Deezer how this is possible,  but nice it is!  

    Thanks

    Hi Jakob,

    Thank you very much. Your system is also very nice!

    If memory serves me right, Deezer some time ago joined the MQA partnership. I think the MQA is packed inside a FLAC file, which can be unpacked by MQA enabled DAC’s. That,in theory, explains why it’s possible to stream MQA from Deezer, although it’s not official supported (yet?).

     I’m shure there’s a way better explanation if one do a search...

    And another - not surprising since mqa is in the title.

    It would be nice if the search supported something like file:”mqa” like the possibilty to search for labels label:”2L"

    It must be a Flac indeed since it loads reasonable quickly. 

    I'm gonna search for that fairytale now. 😀

    Have a nice weekend!

    Thanks Rudi. 

    I'm pleased with this nice surprise,  it's real high-end and far better than what Tidal and Qobuz are offering!!
