Dear Deezer,

Now is the time ;)

Volumio 3 is released including a new plugin store, so this couldn’t be a better time to build a Deezer plugin for Volumio (or let Volumio do it by providing them an SDK).

Tidal works perfect with Volumio, but the audiophile Volumio users know, that MQA is kind of a scam.
So why not convince them to switch to Deezer from Tidal by providing a beautiful plugin?

Hi Ron, I am not interested in a Chromecast solution. I would like to have native Deezer Hifi support. Volumio does not have it at the moment. My current system with a Lyngdorf TDAI-2170 amp, Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers and an Aperion Bravus 12D woofer is highly resolving. With this system I am now hearing very fine and subtle differences (e.g. the sound quality using Sonos Toslink output is better than the using Sonos Coax output). I would like to test, if a high-end streamer with lower jitter is audible in my system. Today I decided to give ifi SPDIF iPurifier 2 a try, which is an external solution for reclocking/jitter reduction. If this an audible step forward, I can continue to use Sonos/Deezer … I am sceptical but who knows ...

I’d also love a Deezer plugin for Volumio. I have a RP with an Allo DigiOne hat, plus an Nvidia Shield Pro, so I have a couple of options. The Nvidia Shield gets most use with casual daily listening through Spotify, but Android upsamples everything. Unfortunately, Tidal and Qobuz are out as I live in Turkey and neither are available here, so until Spotify finally releases their HiFi tier (...) Deezer is my only option. Given the way Android upsamples everything, I don’t think the sound quality would be noticeably improved over Spotify.

This should be a no-brainer for Deezer. The audience out there using Volumio tend to be highly engaged in various enthusiast circles and forums on the internet, influencing many other people looking for solutions in the high resolution space. Deezer would stand to benefit from a large number of new users if they just enabled this access.

Personally, I am still using a Squeezebox Classic with Deezer but I know that will eventually give up and then I’ll only have my Volumio device. I would love not to have to give up Deezer for Tidal.

Deezer, please listen.

Hi DEEZER why there is no solution from your site over all the years we are beging you? I love DEEZER HIGH RES but there are inpasses in using it. Why you don’t listen to your costumers needs? Where is the general problem, you can drop pants, we are listening? Eduard

Yet another user who is just sitting, waiting (for YEARS now) for Deezer to implement this.

Years.

It would have been straightforward before Volumio subscription model. If Deezer offers an updated API, you still need to pay monthly to Volumio just for nothing. You can write the plugin and share its source, but stiil need to pay to use it (volumio premium features are just like a button labeled ‘allow plugins)’.

How is this coming along - Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify are all in Volumio now - be great if we can finally make it happen @Deezer 🙏
