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 there, Manuel @Innocent

    Thank you for your feedback. We need more users to vote and support this idea as others are currently ahead at the moment.


    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!

    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.

    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
