Deezer HiFi support for Android TV devices

Dear Deezer team!

Would be great to have HiFi (lossless) Playback support for Android TV devices.

I have an Android Tv device connected to HiFi audio receiver paired with HiFi speakers. I can really hear the difference in playback quality between 320 Kbps and FLAC. So I'm forced to use Google Cast to stream Deezer HiFi from my IPhone to Android TV to get HiFi.

Many people use Android TV boxes and many of them pair them with home audio receivers. Would be great to have HiFi audio source from Tv box.

Deezer v. 2.0.4.
Android TV 8.0

Thanks.

      Here you can see if TV has HiFi, just look at the OS and if it has or not a HiFi tag:

          Hi there, we have already implemented HiFi in many more devices and hopefully it will be also implemented on Android TV in 2020 ;)

              Would definitely like to see this implemented. At least Chromecast functions better with lossless audio, better than the last time I tried Deezer hifi. Android TV support is a must

                has this happened yet? I get the Hifi logo on Chromecast Playback but still not on the android tv app (Nvidia Shield)
                This is THE android device everyone has attached to their tv, surely this should be top priority.

                    Deezer Anroid TV app without HIFI support is ridiculously!

                    There are many people has configuration like this:  Android TV + AV Reciever + Floor Loudspeakers.

                    I agree with all who forced to use Google Cast to stream Deezer HiFi from some devices to Android TV to get HiFi. It is not comfortable sometimes. That`s why I am expecting from your to rapid upgrade Deezer Android TV app.

                    Hi @Curious75 

                     

                    I believe Deezer is working on new TV apps across the board however I think the new apps are a while off completion.  Fingers crossed it’s soon! :) 

                    I'm a "Deezerhead" (fanboy) and just love music! (Please note even though I love all things Deezer I do not work for Deezer and therefore cannot assist with account issues etc.)

                    Yes @Rob Igo is right, we’re waiting for information to share with you about this new application. We know the current ones are far from ideal, very sorry about that :slight_frown:
