10's of thousands of audiophile users use various Squeezebox/LMS solutions to stream high files files/Tidal/Qubuz to hifi systems.
Deezer is already available as a Squeezebox plugin but sadly, hifi quality is not yet enabled.
I switched from Tidal Hifi back to Deezer as I assumed that hifi quality would be available on my Squeezebox solution, but sadly that was not the case.

When will Deezer Hifi become available on Squeezebox?

Hi, I can assure you that they're working on it 🙂. Please keep an eye on our devices list and hopefully soon we will be able to update it and offer HiFi on Squeezebox ;)
I passed your feedback to our devs! Thanks for it!

That is great to know!
I REALLY look forward to get high quality sound again 😀

Hi - I am one of the many thousands of LMS / Squeezebox users.

Last message in this thread is 2 months old - no further update.

Can you please advise when HiFi service is planned to be available? Is it available as a beta version?

Thanks,

Ana.

I have a Deezer Hifi subscription and used it on my squeezeboxes (I have multiple of them around the house) with the ickStream plugin. All was working fine... until ickStream discontinued their service on May 31st 2019.

So, where there was a workaround to the fact that deezer didn't support their Hifi service in their squeezebox app, the workaround doesn't exist any more. Now is the time Deewer realy needs to update their Squeezebox app to keep their Hifi customers on squeezebox.

For myself, i will stop my Deezer Hifi subscription if i can't use it again on my squeezebox in the near future. I'm likely I will leave Deezer altogether since i do want CD quality sound and some competitors do properly support squeezebox.

Deezer? any update on the support of Hifi on squeezebox?

Thanks,
Manuel

Hi Rudi. How many more votes do you need to seriously consider this? Ickstream is now dead as of end of Q1 2019 and many users were using Ickstream to accomplish this. I know Tidal does do Hifi with Logitech Media Server/Squeezebox. I've asked people to vote but the forums for squeezebox/LMS really only get used when someone has an issue -- these types of things are a set it and leave it type of service, thus I know there are many who would like this functionality.

As a frequent Deezer user I vote for an update of the Deezer application for Logitech Media Server (LMS) / Squeezebox so that one can use Deezer Hifi with my Squeezeboxes, too.

Hey guys, sorry for bringing you bad news. I marked this topic as not implemented as our developers will not work on it at the moment. We'll still pass all feedback on to the right team, but it's very unlikely they will be working on it any time soon...
Let me know if you have any question about it!

I tried Deezer and liked it a lot, but are not switching from Tidal until you offer flac on squeezebox and Roon support!

Hi there @chraha

Thanks for being honest with us. I'll pass your feedback on so that it can support the idea :wink:


Please add Deezer Hifi support for Logitech Media Server (LMS) / Squeezebox. Without it the HIFI plan doesn’t make mush sense for me and I’ll most likely discontinue it.

Hi there @Clippingerror 

Thank you for your honest feedback. We'd hate to see you go, so I've passed your feedback to our developers. Thank you for your patience :thumbsup_tone2:


Hello Deezer,

 

I use your service now for years together with my Squezzeboxes. 

Now I like to switch to CD Quality, but sadly, you do not support that standard feature at all. Thats a shame.

 

I guess I have to look for some other streaming service, which supports this.

 

I believe three month should be enought for you to implement that.

If not, I will discontinue my supscription.

 

Sorry for that, but what else shall I do?

 

Kind regards, an old customer

Hi there @Heiko Baumann 

Really sorry to hear that. But thank you for being honest.

We're working on a new cast integration - perhaps that will offer you a HiFi alternative. Once I've got more updates, I'll be sharing with the community.

Is this the post that pushed Deezer HiFi integration on Logitech Media Server over the developer hurdle?

I hope so - this thread has been highs and lows of Deezer are, Deezer aren't ... would be nice if they could make the small effort to extend their current LMS integration to include HIFI. I've got the standard family account and listen to my squeezebox a lot, so no way I'd upgrade to HIFI unless its LMS compatible

We take all of our community feedback to developers, product managers and other teams at Deezer @SR_250 :relaxed:

I'm happy to say that mostly since last year, our users here are much more engaged with the development of our service. There's still a long way to go, but we want to keep this up. Thank you for your support :thumbsup_tone2:
