External USB DACs support for Deezer

Hello,

Saw several similar posts, but they were not created at “”Got an idea” section.

The suggestion is to implement function of Deezer player to directly connect external USB DAC’s at smartphones (bypassing the operating system mixer).

Since smartphone makers refuse using 3.5 mm mini jack, audiophiles pay attention to adapters with DAC. It’s assortment is growing - number of reviews on YouTube and feedbacks at Ali confirm this.

Streaming platforms as Tidal and Qobuz allow to output sound directly to external DAC through application “USB Audio Player Pro”. Deezer has no such function.

In my opinion implementation of this function at Deezer application itself (without workaround) will become a competitive advantage of service and will attract additional audience of audiophiles.

      Hey, Deezer. I am totally agree with people above. Looking for this feature for 6 months.

      I remember that you have it on you "board" of tasks, please provide any feedback about current status. 

      Thank you.

        Any updates on this? It’s a crucial function for hifi sound.

            Got here only to realize HIFI on Deezer at this point is only a marketing gimmick if we can't consume lossless audio they way it was intended.

            Would love to see support for DAC in android via UAPP. I hope Deezer beats Spotify to this race. Looks like I'm stuck with Tidal for now.

              Up

              Hello Deezer !

              Anything new on this subject ?

              We need to know if it's something you will be working on soon enough.

              Personally, I'm going to Qobuz in the mean time.

                Apple music just announced Dolby Atmos and lossless format. Deezer is probably losing this race.

                  Seems to me that they are not even racing :’(

                  It’s weird to have a lossless hifi service without the necessary hardware support so you can use this distinctive and supposed advantage. To me its an endgame with Deezer.

                    Still no updates...? This seems like a very important matter for all Hifi tier subscribers.

                      When my one-month free trial will finish, i'm going back to tidal and uapp. I'll happily return to deezer, when options mentioned above will be implemented.
