WASAPI in Deezer Windows application

I don't know why Deezer doesn't improve its Windows desktop application to incorporate high-quality features like ASIO or WASAPI to enhance sound quality when using a computer with an external USB Hi-Fi DAC.

When comparing, on the same computer, a FLAC album played on foobar2000 using the WASAPI output with the same album played on the Deezer application in Hi-Fi quality, the sound quality on foobar2000 is superior.

I believe this is because Deezer uses standard Windows output instead of sending the output directly to the DAC.

Do the developers have any plans to improve this?

Hi, it's a shame because this feature is related to the sound quality, and that makes a difference compared to Spotify, for example, or other platforms. I hope you can reconsider. Best Regards
