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 …

Hey @Vernen

Sorry to hear that but thanks for getting in touch with us. I encourage you to ask Denon/HEOS about it, it's their app so only they can give a timeline for this. We're also waiting for more info from them and have assisted their developers in the process. Maybe follow @HurdyG's advice :thumbsup_tone2:

Looking forward to this feature becoming available as I’d like to upgrade to Hifi but neither my HEOS devices nor the Bose SoundTouch system or Apple TV are supported by Deezer Hifi yet.

I live in the Netherlands, and I contacted HEOS support for this issue.

They replied that I should be possible to stream FLAC when you have a HiFi subscription.

So I sent them a print screen of the HEOS app showing only 320kbps MP3 for a song that's streamed in HiFi in the Deezer app.

I keep you guys posted….

Hey @nielsclaassens @UGatDeezer

Thank you for supporting this, it really does make a difference.

Well, @nielsclaassens after our users came here in this topic to let us know the same thing (MP3 streams) we informed our devs who then contacted their counterparts - and they said that they needed to do some work on the app to enable this. So in theory, everyone was under the impression HiFi stream (in FLAC) was enabled, but more work is indeed required - from HEOS. We'll keep you updated here :thumbsup_tone2:

Marantz Customer Service in Germany answered today to me, that the wish to integrate Deezer Hifi into the HEOS App has been forwarded to their developers but that they can’t state if and when it can be put into future updates. Does somebody know if they use Testflight for Beta testing the HEOS App and if users can participate in their testing?

Thanks for sharing @UGatDeezer.

We've got a similar response from them too, but thanks to you all here, we've been able to ping them every now and then to let them know it's worth doing it :wink:
Don't know about their app, but we use Testflight on our mobile one.

@Rudi For the Deezer App I am a Beta Tester already :wink: and for the HEOS App the feedback received now is that they are currently not looking for Beta testers and would like to contact me when they have a need but I still don’t know if they use Testflight then. Or will they have to us that as there is no other possibility for testing iOS Apps?

I'm not sure @UGatDeezer it's a question for them :sweat_smile:

I just hope that we have news from them soon, so that I can relay it here for you :thumbsup_tone2: if they mention the need for testers, I'll let our devs know that we have the users for it :relieved:
