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

As long as comments count as well as votes... this is an important thing for me as well. With the availability of small hi-fi DACs that can easily be plugged into mobile devices, this feature would be really awesome to have.

I'm one of those who can easily hear the difference even between 320kbps MP3 and FLACs, on some of "airier" songs with lots of details. So it's frustrating to go from your home FLACs to the phone's sub-par MP3s on a Hi-Fi subscription. Lower quality does work on the go of course, when there's lots of noise around you probably won't hear the difference, and yet it's not the reason not to have highest available quality on mobile devices.

Hello, just bought hi-fi plan. Playing music via Yamaha Musiccast and its still showing MP3 not Flac (as it does for Tidal). Do you have any tips?

Where can you see that it's mp3, not flac?

Interesting feedback, @77cats. Thank you. We'll pass it to the right team at Deezer, as we've been discussing HiFi quite frequently now.
Have you finally decided to add a flac to android? I tried tidal and he is so good with flac on android! I do not want to go on tidal. Please do it

Hi there @Rolanddekok

Have you checked this with Bluesound directly? If you have an iOS device, you can choose to stream HiFi from Deezer Labs. Check it out and let me know 😉

Hi there @Rolanddekok

Our catalog on HiFi is now so big that the app will stream in FLAC if the audio settings are set to HiFi. So no need to look specific for FLAC tracks.
If you can't see the HiFi option in Deezer Labs, have a look at our Beta program here 😉

Deezer mp3 320 sounds excellent, but i would like to be able to stream in FLAC on my smartphone, because when i listen to Psytrance i can hear bigger soundstage and more air on FLAC file.
