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

I've used Tidal but I prefer Deezer because with Tidal you can't upload songs that Tidal doesn't have, and with Deezer you're able (at least until now). Also, Tidal doesn't have social zone , but, in the other hand, Tidal's available, for example, in Astell & Kern devices, and Deezer isn't because of HiFi's limited devices.

Keep in mind though that Deezer upload only accepts MP3 files with a constant bit rate (CBR) yet.

Regarding the HiFi option sometimes it is already available, but related support and help pages haven't been updated yet, e.g. for Bluesound devices:

http://www.deezer.com/en/devices/soundsystems

There is no yellow "HiFi" sticker on that page, but Bluesound's support forum confirms it is working:

Just cancelled my subscription on Spotify to join a good HiFi streaming provider and only to find out that my device isn't supported. Everything is hi-res certified, only that it's mobile. I would rather not have to use Tidal again..

Hey Deezer, any updates to this? It seems you're not pretty much interested on mobile devices where the app is mostly being used and not on those non-reasonable expensive Speakers.

Hi @joeszef and @T.J. Turner thank you so much for your input and sorry for the late reply. I am now slowly brining some order into this forum, that is why I have moved your topic to this one as it was a duplicate 😉

Hi @Max_x57 sorry for the very late reply. We are slowly going through all of your ideas these days.

Since your main idea was the same as this one I have moved it over here 😉

If you really want to compete with Tidal, this is a must have feature.

I understand that there was no reason for adding HI-fi mode to mobile devices, but now the situation has changed.

Sony smartphones and smartphones on Android Oreo support LDAC.
Qualcomm’s aptX and Apple AAC ~352 kbps, and aptX HD is 576 kbps. But LDAC transmits 990 kbps, it's a lot more data than any other Bluetooth codec out there.

I really like your service but I don't want to switch from iTunes to Deezer without this feature. This is the last thing that stops me.
