Hello,

I have some small issue with the Deezer beta app under windows 10. Everything gets up-sampled to the sample rate set up for shared mode in windows control panel.

Anyone has some idea why this is happening?

thank you for you help.

PS: Hardware: Windows 10 laptop + Chord Mojo (DAC)

I think I know what is the issue. Deezer did not implement exclusive mode for devices.

Hi there! 🙂 Could give us more details about this? What do you mean by up-sampling? Are your devices connected via bluetooth?

Hello Anja,

I attached some pictures:

As you can see every tune that I play has the same sample rate 384kHz. I'm pretty sure you are not streaming at that rate. 😁 I'm sure it has to do with the fact that the application is not using the device in exclusive mode. It would be excellent if you could implement a bit perfect mode. (Like your competition) 😁. Hope this helps.

Also, I can tell you that the issue is present also on android. There on my Samsung S6 Edge paired with the Mojo trough USB everything plays at 192kHz(blue LED color on the Mojo).

Thanks for the details, Christian 🙂 I moved your topic to our ideas forum and change the title slightly so that other users can discuss this and vote for it 🙂 Hope this can be implemented in the future 🙂

Also with Windows 10 64bit build 1803 + Schiit Yggdrasil. Kudos for Christian Ioan for the detailed post with pictures, means I don't have to do so myself 🙂

If you are still using Deezer, Most tracks are 16-bit/44.1KHz.
I had a bump in SQ in most songs by changing my windows default output to 16-bit/44.1KHz.

Hi,

Last year Sony started a new streaming service called “Mora Qualitas”. It supports exclusive mode output (which bypasses OS mixer) with both Windows and Mac OS and allows direct output to external DAC.

I have subscriptions of both Deezer and Mora Qualitas. If I compare sound quality with same tracks (with same streaming quality of 44.1/16 of course) between two services, the difference is so obvious. Exclusive mode is so much superior in SQ.

Hope Deezer desktop app will support exclusive mode in near future.

Thanks,
