NAD/BluOS support on Deezer

I have a NAD C658 streaming DAC running the latest BluOS.
While I can use the Deezer plugin within the BluOS application it is nowhere near as nice as the actual Deezer application.

It would be ideal if one of two things were to happen:
A. The Deezer application on my Laptop (mac) or other devices (IOS, Android, Etc) could send the audio stream directly to the NAD (Not using Airplay or Bluetooth). Spotify can do this; it ensures the user has the same interface experience regardless of the endpoint in use (phone, laptop, Hifi, smart speaker, etc). Currently I am stuck using the crippled NAD Deezer application.

B. Deezer becomes compatible with Roon. This, again, would be far superior to the BluOS integration currently available and again, create a single user interface across multiple platforms.

Hi there @dalemurray

Thank you for your input and feedback. We'd like to increase our compatibility across devices, but this is a development which will take a bit more time. Have a look at this idea and show your support. For Roon, check this topic out 👍🏼

I have commented on both threads, the Roon one several days ago.

Sadly, I will likely stick with Tidal as Roon solves all my issues. I would much rather stay with Deezer but refuse to jump through hoops - use bluetooth or airplay - to listen to music. At least with Spotify I could start listening to something while using my laptop then continue listening after I turned it off. I could them open the app on any number of devices to stop or modify what I was playing.

Hey @dalemurray

I've seen your comments. Thank you for your honest feedback. We're already working on that kind of feature. We've enabled our queue list to be cloud based, and we're developing a way to be able to control music through the app, from another device. Stay tuned if you can 👍🏼

I have already cancelled my account.

Shoot me an email when that happens; when I can send a signal to my NAD without my phone/tablet/laptop being an intermediary device in the audio path and I will check it out.

Hi,

I also have a NAD C658 and feel that the references to the ‘full Deezer support’ are slightly misleading given the limitation on Deezer’s part here. Your competition are ahead of you on this topic and there is clear demand for your customers to use the Deezer app in order to stream directly to these devices.

It has been three months since Dale raised the issue, do you have a confirmed timeline to deliver against the request at this stage?

Many thanks
Herriot

Hi there @Herriotcube

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're working on a new device discovery experience and integration - and we're expecting to have more updates about this before the end of the year :thumbsup_tone2:

Hi Rudi,

Happy New Year! How are we looking on this feature that you said you would be updating before the end of 2019? I don’t see it on Deezer yet, seems like your new device discovery & integration experience isn’t there yet? Any updates that you can share as promised?

Many thanks
Herriot

Hi there Herriot @Herriotcube

Thanks for coming back. Happy New Year!

Our team has updated us to say they aren't finished yet. We've introduced some of the mechanisms to the apps (for device discovery and the new Cast integration) but there's more development to do. Now we're waiting to hear more news from them, but I believe we're going in the right direction. I'll be letting you know :thumbsup_tone2:
