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 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.
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 âMora Qualitasâ. 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, Â
Thanks for bumping this up
Yeah, it is important to have exclusive mode in Android and Windows apps. Hope they'll add it, or (sadly), i will jump to something like tidal soon.
This feature alone will make deezer the absolute best in terms of quality, value and library.Â
3 years later and still no exclusive mode? With Tidal my dac will change bit rate according to the song played but not so with Deezer. Even though the small amount of info I seen mentioned audio is only 16bit 44.1khz anyway but having exclusive mode would still be a benefit. Even with Tidal there is a noticeable difference in sound quality and I struggle to find an audible difference between Spotify and Deezer. Itâs rather unfortunate because I do not like supporting Tidal in the slightest especially now that they want to force MQA on people who have devices that support decoding it.Â
Thanks for the feedback
We haven't had the opportunity to work on this yet, but it's an interesting discussion. I'll forward your comments onÂ
Yeah, you all need to focus on this now. Your competition offers exclusive mode and you donât. If you want to stay competitive, you need to implement this. Otherwise, people will question the bitrate that they are actually getting. It is unacceptable that 3 years after this idea was mentioned and you still havenât implemented it. Escalate immediately.Â
Thanks for the feedback
Are you working on playing bit perfect on android devices, like TIDAL does?
Hey
Thanks for the feedback.
Not on the plans yet but our teams are interested! Hopefully we can get more and more users asking for itÂ
hey
so like i have qobuz and deezer and i love how qobuz has asio support which is super quick and reliable
and i do want to try out tidal but i saw the price tag and itâs more expensive and the period i had tidal for free i felt that qobuz sounded pretty much better even on my phone where it doesnât have exclusive support although via apps you can get it

There is a related idea on this forum where you can vote for it:

There simply is no need, when we know that it is 16x44.1 which is the default setting on all Windows PCs. Just advise users NOT to change this setting.
It is a very useful feature for services that offer variable stream resolutions, like T and Q, but Deezer is not in that category, which may be an advantage for non-geeky users who leave settings at default.
Also consider not every user will like Exclusive mode, where no Games nor YouTubes could play audio when âbackgroundâ Deezer music is playing in Exclusive Mode. Consider that âExclusive Modeâ is only needed to switch the resolution, which anyway is a match to default setting⌠moot point.
There shall be extra support calls (âMy other apps crash/stop/do no play sound! You broke my PC!â) while not necessarily improving sound quality.
If you are still using Deezer, Most tracks are 16-bit/44.1KHz.

This is the answer. You settings are set to the max sample rate and bit depth, set it at 16-bit/44.1KHz to match the CD quality of what Deezer is outputting then all will be good.
