Deezer hifi is not of much value unless you specifically own an Sonos system or play on computer app. The developers need to get it on iPhone and android apps - would obviously expand the listening possibilities and give Tidal some competition - tidal is good service but the Deezer app is far better. Also. I have my Deezer account Set up on my bose sound touch systems. Would be perfect if it supported the hifi option on these

Greatly prefer the Deezer app experience on Android vs TIDAL and Spotify, BUT the fact that the Deezer app cannot output Hi-Fi is puzzling to me. I have Sony headphones with the LDAC bluetooth codec and I can't take full advantage of them with Deezer, or Spotify, and only with TIDAL.

I currently have a trial subscription for TIDAL and must say, the lossless quality increase is notable, although Deezer HQ is miles better than Spotify. I don't want to switch services, but I bought good headphones for a reason and want to maximize my listening experience.

How has this been in the works for over a year?

Hi fitchmultz I would like to know if you have compared Tidal and Deezer services. In the premium standard, the difference is so Little between them, specially in the bass, but not enough to let the best music Service (for me) which is Deezer. But in the HIFI stadard, would like to know if there is difference too.
Thanks

@Jaime Andres Abenoza I haven't been able to compare Deezer Hi-Fi to TIDAL Hi-Fi in a controlled manner, since Deezer Hi-Fi is only supported on a few devices. The quality should be the same since they both output audio at 44.1kHz/16bit 1411kbps in FLAC. TIDAL recently announced Masters quality, however only available to desktop users, which outputs at 96kHz/24bit 1411kbps. This is the highest possible resolution, although there is no mobile option.

I have tested Deezer HQ vs TIDAL HQ vs Spotify HQ and have found the Deezer experience to be the best. Deezer HQ is 320kbps in MP3 format, while TIDAL in 320kbps AAC, and Spotify at 320kbps in OGG.

MP3 encodes files at a constant bitrate, while the others have a variable bitrate, so theoretically file sizes will be larger with MP3, and potentially higher quality. Thus, I prefer Deezer. I can tell a difference between the three but can't 100% rule out a bias towards Deezer. I've tried multiple scenarios and devices and still always prefer Deezer HQ over the others.

App experience, music recommendations, and all around feel is superior with Deezer, so I'd prefer to stick with this service. However, Hi-Fi needs to come to mobile devices soon or I'll be jumping ship to TIDAL so I can listen to FLAC quality on my phone and Sony Headphones.

Thanks, I did the same review, but with simple devices, as phones, Earbuds not too elite. I found Spotify the worst quality, Deezer and Tidal the best, in some cases, Tidal a Little clearer in de bass and drums. But the Tidal experiencia is just disgusting, I defintely could not find the right playlist, I dont have time to create all the listst I would like to know. (I called my review: "A beautiful sound for the music that you dont want to hear") and made me love more the Deezer Service.
This HIFi Service in mobiles would be great.
Thanks again

Has Deezer made any progress on releasing API for use by Logitech team, Audiravana, Aurender, Lumin, or any of the other streaming devices?

API's release https://developers.deezer.com/ does not support Hi-Fi.

Question: when they released the HiFi version for Android and IOS devices ?, Tidal launched their application for HiFi mobile devices 3 years ago ... I hired the service to replace it, but they still do not have the service for mobile devices.

any date suggest?!

This is the only trigger to make me swtich back and forth between Deezer and Tidal. If you make it, you nailed it. At least for me. Tidal playlist just not really suit my style but got hifi from mobile device. Deezer got flow and much broad mixes of list but only 320kbps on mobile device. I wish i couldnt the difference but we do. Or maybe it just feeling of highest quality possible for what you paid for.

I won't renew my Hi-Fi subscription as well. Sorry Deezer...The lossless quality should've been provided a long time ago on the mobile devices

Best regards

Add hifi and mqa or I'm moving to tidal. We pay for Hifi we want Hifi and now it's possible with many android phones.
New to Deezer but in love with it
