Does it support AirPlay 2?

Hello,

I’m part of iOS beta and I would like to know whether the app was updated to support QirPlay 2 features? 
When I connect to my AirPlay 2 speaker (only have one so far but updates are coming for the others) I don’t feel any benefits. My understanding was that AirPaly 2 would support long form audio meaning that the song will be loaded in a queue within the speaker’s memory instead of short streaming from the phone. 

Can you confirm if it supports AirPlay 2 new features? If not when will it be added?

best

    My understanding is that Airplay 2 can possibly support lossless, yet in many instances it does not and further will not tell you if it indeed is steaming lossless. That is to say, Airplay 2 “can”, but not necessarily “will”, if that makes sense.

    Yes, I did got your point. 
    It would be interesting to have further insights from Deezer. 
    I agree that there is no sense in having AirPlay 2 if there is a trade off in audio quality.

    Hi thanks for letting us know. 
    Could you ask the developers team whether this is now on their roadmap? This would improve a lot the listening experience.

    Would love to see an update from the roadmap to get Airplay 2.

    This is a much needed update.

    This is a much needed update.

    The roadmap to supporting Airplay 2 really needs to include a Deezer Connect feature that will allow remote control of other streaming devices, such as streamers or active powered speaker systems, Otherwise the migration over to Airplay 2 will result in a noticeable degradation of sound quality, at which point what is the main strength of Deezer over, lets say, Spotify?

    And it has instant streaming enabled AirPlay 2. 
    So it’s something possible for third party! Go Deezer, Go!

    Hi ​@jeremybonan ​@BigFKahuna thanks for your posts. 

    I was looking to the thread internally and there was no update since my last post, so I have asked for some news.

    If something comes up, I will let you all know. Go Go AirPlay2
