Hi. I would be happy to see asio and wasapi support in your windows desktop app. Tidal has this function and in my opinion it really smoothens sound and makes quality slightly better.

I would like to hear the VOICE of Christina Aguilera in Army Of Me but impossible to notice her real tone.

I think it is a must have for high quality music listening. This technology grants direct, undisturbed connection between the app and the device, and automatically sets the correct sampling rate for every track. This provides the very best possible sound quality, especially when combined with Deezer Hifi.
This technology is supported by a lot of good quality sound card out of the box.

I think my post below is linked to this forum. Gave me a few answers...

Hi,

I've been listening to Deezer FLAC and Tidal FLAC for some time now and been comparing them on a PC with Dragonfly Red, Magni 3 and Sennheiser HD 650 setup. I've also tried the V-Moda Crossfade II Wireless for reference cans. The thing is I can't shake the feeling that Tidal FLAC (Not MQA) is a lot cleaner, balanced, spacious and detailed as compared to the Deezer FLAC. So I am thinking, is it just me or are others out there who can concur?

I mea I really like Deezer for its innovative app design and features... But shouldn't sound quality be the same or is Deezer's source NOT true FLAC or an upscaled MP3? Is my system doing something to make Deezer Flac sound more like a 320 mp3 when compared to Tidal FLAC. The important part is WHY?? Love to hear the community's thoughts on this...

@Shoaibexpert You're right, Deezer definitely doesn't sound like real FLAC. Tidal does.

@rsbyrs Thanks for concurring. Now the question is if Deezer enables the Wasapi or ASio on Windows PC in the future - that is if they decide to listen to their customers, would the quality at par with the Tidal FLAC? I mean do both FLACs contain the same details in the music data and Deezer just isn't being relayed properly due to a system limitation or is it just that Deezer's FLAC is sub-par... That remains to be seen....so far... Im thinking of moving to Tidal as Deezer FLACs sound fake, plain and simple. @Flo.Deezer You need to fix this... I have been your customer via another Deezer account for close to 3 years now... And I am walking away!

Hi @Rafael. , @Flo.Deezer , @Deezer Feels strange...you guys need votes to deliver something that's basic and systemic, already being done with better results by your competitors and should have been done from the start to deliver the so called 'FLAC' experience that you guys are advertising and selling - with premium? The following 3 things are a must if I, at least am going to continue to choose Deezer over your competitors:

  1. Enable FLACs on Android and Apple Store Apps over phone and tabs;
  2. Enable WASAPI and ASIO over computer apps;
  3. Enable MQAs and start building your library towards the future; and
  4. Stay innovative.
That is if you want to keep the 10M+ or so whatever subscribers happy and paying...myself amongst them. I hope to see some progress towards the basics soon...

Cheers!

Seriously, streaming FLAC without WASAPI or any kind if bitperfect support is not even worth it. You guys need to make that happen.

I think it's fair to ask since the last comment was 8 months ago if there has been any progress on this request. Deezer support, anything to share?
