Hello, if I use my iPhone to play music from Deezer app and a hifi subscription, and redirect the music (normally FAC format)  via airplay to my audio system (old system, with an airplay receiver), is the sound will be degradated ? Or is it a valid option ?

Is Deezer  hifi (launched on my iPhone) is compatible with airplay ?

 

i really try to find a wireless solution with good quality, and by using my existing audio system…

 

thank you for your help

      Hey @KP50 @Viewtiful Bob 

      Our devs came back to us with more info on this:

      It is true that HiFi users can stream their songs in FLAC format to an AirPlay speaker without loss of quality. iOS converts the decoded audio data to ALAC, which is the Apple equivalent of FLAC and is a lossless compression format.

      About AirPlay 2, it consists mostly of 2 improvements compared to AirPlay:

      • multiroom audio, which allows playing synchronously the same song on multiple speakers, it is supported by Deezer app
      • fast streaming, which increases playback control reactivity and reduces the chance to face audio drops, this feature is not currently implemented in Deezer app

      AirPlay 2 does not improve audio quality, the original version of AirPlay already offers CD-quality audio (16 bit 44.1/48 kHz).

      In sum, you're right and the information previously provided wasn't correct. Once we have more concrete details, I'll be sharing them here in the community :v_tone2:

      Yes, that's exactly how it works.

        Thank you Dee-Kirk…                          So am I sending audio data from MacOs/ iOs to the Airplay 2 Amplifier, or am I ‘telling’ the amplifier to retrieve that data itself? Many thanks

        You send the audio from your Mac or iOS device. If you run out of battery there, the data transfer also ends.
