Hifi on chromecast

Hello,

I have two questions:
- I see everywhere on the internet that Deezer now streams hifi to many other sound systems than just Sonos, but here in FAQ says that it isn't true??
- I have Sony MHC v77dw powerful system with built-in chromecast but when I'm casting music from my Galaxy S8 (from Deezer app) I don't see HQ sign unlike when I'm listening directly from my mobile and headphones?

Thank you for your answer,
Sincerely

Hi there. As I am using a Chromecast as my primary audio streamer it would be great to have hifi support for it.

So if I am a Deezer Hifi subscriber and cast to chromecast or chromecast built-in (i.e. my onkyo amp) via my Deezer mobile app, will i be hearing lossless stream?

I have a Chromecast audio and a Chromecast ultra - it's streaming lossless onto them. Cannot comment on the other models.

I was told just a few days ago that the mobile apps still do not stream lossless I ven though they can now cast to chromecast. Does anyone know which is correct?

You can stream lossless from the apps to Chromecast. However if you're listening in the app via headphones, Bluetooth, built-in speakers you don't get lossless.
