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

New Beta tester an new to this forum. Most intresting thread. Voted.

Am I a person interested in Music-quality?

Have built several Homespeakers during the years.
Have built car audio both for competition and privatepersons, and even carstereo for hi-end listening.
Have built a discotec in an 18 meter long articulated bus.

Have a 15inch subwoofer in a 300 liter space in the roof between first and second floor in my house.

Music quality IS important. Having Deezer Hifi at the moment, had both premium and free earlier. Deezer Free has, in my opinion, better soundquality than Payed version of spotify.

Why not Hifi on the celluar Phone Deezer? It is not a problem. People want it. and those not wanting Hifi, is already your or yours competitors customers.

Having Tidal and Deezer and spotify in my phones, Right now. to compare.
Having 4 androidmobiles, all of them capable of handling Hifi. LG g7ThinQ, Lg G5 with BangOlufsen hifiplus module.
Have Sandisc 128Gb in one, 64gb the other, both of them 275mb/s.
Have unlimited data plan both in the phones and on wifi.
My Sony earbuds is threewayspeakers configuration, costs as much as a celluarphone cost...

------ If only Deezer could fix it. Now. Mobile HiFi NOW.-----

Pros, Cons and Cure.

Pros. Every aspect of music listening. only pros. all situations.

Cons. - $$$ -. You pay for data. Hifi needs more data.
Cure. download during wifi situations, listen offline. Or get unlimited data plan.

Cons. takes up space in phones memory.
Cure. Sd card. Chose phone with large memory when you buy a new one.

Cons. other technic in writing the app.
Cure.. make a separate app just for Deezer Mobile Hifi!!!

Cons. Need for downloadspeed?
Cure. 4g and soon 5g. or wifi.

Any other cons???

Deezer is on android media boxes, but it's not in Hifi.
I would like Hifi on my Nvidea shield

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. We are always trying to offer Hifi on more and more devices, hopefully you can soon have this on Nvidea Shield as well 😉

Has Deezer made any progress on making HiFi available on all the devices? Can Deezer share the priority on the devices that you are adding support on and tentative timelines by quarter / year, so you customers can make an informed decision.

Thank You

I started a trial with Tidal, Qobuz, and Deezer. Deezer seems to have better features overall, including lyrics, but the inability to stream HiFi on the mobile apps is laughable. I have unlimited LTE data and I'd like to stream HiFi on my premium sound system in my Tesla. If this necessary feature isn't added soon, I'll definitely be switching to Tidal or Qobuz (probably Tidal).

Can someone from Deezer update us on the status of this feature request?

Without HiFi streaming on mobile, the HiFi subscription is mostly useless. Deezer's competitors have this feature and without it, Deezer will be losing subscribers to its competitors and not gaining potential new subscribers like me. I'll be canceling my Deezer and Qobuz trials and becoming a paid subscriber for Tidal.

Why would you support desktop before mobile! Support hiFi on mobile apps, at $14.99/month, and you'll wipe out Tidal. Tidal has smaller catalog and their mobile app is not as intuitive.

Good luck in getting Deezer to do anything about it, which is unfortunate. I like Deezer a lot but I will not be renewing my subscription which is coming up for renewal. The limit on the devices that HiFi is available is no longer acceptable. There are plenty of audio vendors that would like to add support for Deezer in their software playback system for home use but the published API does not have any support for HiFi.

Success of any app would be its ability to integrate with a variety operating systems, platforms and devices.
I searched alot to locate any chat that shows Deezer is working towards this goal.
Since i have already selected the kind of platform and device i want to use, the next step would be to find an app that works well with it.
Given how much it depends on availability of info on how to stream on your device of choice, i would expect that Deezer makes a concerted effort in making this info readily available, but to my disappointment, after spending 30 mins on the excercise I remain unclear.

Hope before I switch completely, Deezer is able to provide the required info.
  1. I use a Marshall Woburn Multi Room WiFi Speaker
  2. Preferably on iOS devices
  3. It uses built in Google Chromecast when I choose it, a message pops up that is a Deezer "Premium" feature. This should be openly disclosed to all App users.
  4. If I subscribe to "Hi Fi" will I be able to stream it to my speaker in that quality.
