HiFi compatibility on all devices.

Hello Deezer. The FLAC quality should also be enabled in the browser. There is absolutely no excuse not to go ahead. If on the same PC machine it can be streamed via dedicated app then it can be streamed directly into the browser and played back. Does not matter whether mobile or desktop browser when going to deezer.com.

I'm coming from Tidal HiFi, and I've just started my 30 day HiFi trial here with Deezer. Of course, the first thing I do after installing the app is to set the audio quality to the highest available - but wait, HQ is the highest setting? I install the desktop app, and nope, there's HiFi.

So apparently there's no HiFi available on mobile devices with this service? Disappointing. I'm still interested in what kind of experience I'll get with Deezer, so I'll definitely stick with the trial, but FLAC quality audio on mobile is a huge feature for me because I listen primarily in my car using Android Auto. I anticipate that I'll have a hard time justifying the jump from Tidal when my Deezer trial ends, because it's a big step back from what Tidal currently offers.

Hopefully this feature becomes available soon - this seems like an otherwise excellent streaming service.

Hello deezer! On behalf of all users, please make HiFi support for smartphones. As soon as it becomes available, I will be your first customer.

I too want hifi on mobile and ios devices. As a hifi subscriber and one that has invested in several great headphones would love the hifi streaming ability, as that's what I pay for the service. Limiting it defeats the purpose. Challenging to justify maintaining subscription if mobile devices are not supported.

The problem here is that most mobile devices doesn't have a good sound card, because manufacturers and users (not all) want to slim them. A good sound card needs space: less interferences with electronic components and more refrigeration

Many mainstream apps allow to play flac files on Android, so most handsets would be able to handle the format. HiFi comes with a special subscription on Deezer so you can bet that the related users would be interested.
It would be OK if it were only available on some devices, people would understand they need something compatible. But not available at all on the number one mobile OS?

I had a Cowon iAudio7 about twelve years ago, one of their smallest and cheapest audio player but it played MP3, WMA, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, and ASF audio files without any troubles. Yet you would have us believe that today's manufacturers can't get decent music components to fit into slim designs? Even though they know how much it matters to people, when you see the reactions about the possible absence of headphone jacks on the next Samsung phone?

It's like crossfade, not available on Android or the Windows app. The Jetplayer could do that 16 years ago on Windows, and same on Android when the first music players arrived...

Interesting feedback, @77cats. Thank you. We'll pass it to the right team at Deezer, as we've been discussing HiFi quite frequently now.

I have a high-end system, and all I wish for, it the option to play FLAC files directly in the Deezer app via AirPay to my system....please, Please, PLEASE. Your app is SO much more intuitive and nicely build than TIDAL. I just need this last change before making the switch... 🙂

Thanks for the feedback @Henrik Abel Larsen we'd like that to happen too! We'll keep the topic updated in case we progress with the idea 🤓
