Is there a time frame for Deezer HIFI Heos support?
Pinned Reply By UGatDeezer

I am also happy that finally this got implemented after so many years!

 

Since today there is a HEOS update which integrates Deezer HiFi and Tidal Connect. First you need to update the HEOS App and afterwards run a firmware update to version 3.34.240. More here: https://support-uk.denon.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3832/~/latest-heos-app-and-firmware-update-available

I will test it the coming days …

Thank you for your honest feedback @Richard Newbold we're still working to get HiFi streaming via the HEOS app. I think you honestly looked into all the options available in order to avoid the PC connection. We'll keep this topic updated :v_tone2:

I don’t want to sound pessimistic and i am hoping for this feature to come as soon as possible, but if you consider that this thread is over a year old and still no HiFi on HEOS… It’s like waiting for a miracle :)  till then we are stuck at 320 kbps on HEOS

Hi there, I’m using a Denon. I also set up a deezer Hifi account to be able to use it with the Heos App. But as so many others here, I wondered cause of not being able to stream in flac quality.

I really like the diversity on deezer (music + podcasts) but without having the flac streaming option it is kind of useless to me.

I personally do not want to connect my cellphone with my denon with Airplay. If I do so, I will risk disconnection while I’m juming around my house/garden.

Kindly fix these Heos flac issue, or I need to stay with an other service in the future.


What is the actual expectation to get this HEOS issue solved by your developer team? There must be a project plan otherwise, I’m sorry to say, all the kind deezer support words here are just to satisfy us customer for some more days. 
 

Hand on heart, it is time for no excuses!

Hi Thomas, thanks for your feedback. Many users request the same and we'll keep passing this feedback on to the right team, however, Deezer doesn't develop Heos apps and we can't confirm when they will implement it. This isn't really an issue to be fixed, it's something that we really want, but we don't have an estimated time yet. I agree that air playing isn't ideal and we'll keep passing all feedback internally and to Heos. We'll post here as soon as we have any more news about it!

Hi @Badirr @lvrmsc @Pima @Alex Po 

Thanks for waiting. After a few chats with our product teams about this, we managed to activate FLAC streaming for the HEOS app :wink:  I now need you to test this and let me know how it works, to make sure we're doing the right thing :smiley:

Hi Rudi,

What is the latest status on this finding?

From your post I  understand that you managed to stream Deezer Hifi (FLAC files) via HEOS app, I suspect in some Dev environment.

So if you were able to do so, when can Deezer subscribers see this live?

What is stopping you from rolling out an update to stream FLAC via HEOS app to Denon / Marantz streamers and amplifiers?

 

Thanks & BR

Alex

Hey @ABRESKY 

Thanks for reaching out again. They have all they need from us to enable this, but there's work to be done on their app.

It's been worked on at HEOS, we're waiting for further updates from them too. We'll let you know when we hear back, but rest assured things are progressing on this :wink:

Good Day,

I have been a loyal supporter of Deezer HiFi for over a year now. To date I have been using Deezer HiFi via Musiccast on my Yamaha Aventage AVR. I have recently decided to get a Marantz PM7000N. What a huge mistake as I find that Heos App does not support Deezer HiFi. Only 320kbps MP3. Please advise on a time to resolution. I am starting to research other streaming services that support higher resolution streaming on Heos.

Regards,

Vernen
