I as well have this update. The question now is, to whom does it matter? In my case I stream Deezer via Airplay 1 to KEF LS60 speakers, thus am capped out at CD quality. KEF connect might go better however it has an approximately 900 track limit on playlist size so that is effectively useless for me. Deezer does not have a Connect via WiFi feature, nor have they even acknowledged that there might be one in the future. At this point it is much easier for me to play hi res if I switch to another service, and I would bet there are very few Deezer users that benefit at this point. The ability to provide a hi res stream is not the same as the ability to play a hi res stream. So I reiterate, without further improvements to Deezer playback features, to whom does it really matter?

People have been asking for it for years. 

In that thread, as in others, I have said that it’s not something that I personally need, but I’m glad that Deezer is making it available to those that want it. It helps them to remain competitive in the industry and to retain subscribers to whom it is important. I’m not seeing a downside for anyone.

I certainly agree, no downside, and I am happy with this announcement. Just saying though, a Connect via WiFi feature, for example, would make this actually useful for (I would guess) a majority of users.
