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 …

Got a response today from Denon:

 

Thank you for taking the time to send us valuable feedback regarding Deezer Hi-Fi streaming through HEOS, we value all feedback we gain from customers and this information will be passed onto the relevant department to help improve on our service and products.

 

There is currently no plans on adding Deezer Hi-Fi support in the near future.

 

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

 

Okay, so Deezer tells a different story than HEOS tells. That doesn't really make us any wiser. Who is keeping the door closed? Denon/HEOS? If Deezer is willing, but Denon/HEOS is not (for whatever reason), then it's not going to happen. I really would like to know the exact reason.

There’s nothing Deezer can do about it. It is Denon that has to integrate Deezer HiFi in their product.

When HEOS announced a major app update in December 2023, I thought this was it. I am so glad to see so many Deezer customers have been waiting for years for this. I will reach out to Denon. I find it inexcusable that a DLNA based platform like HEOS doesn’t yet support this. Meanwhile Yamaha MusicCast, a very similar platform, has Deezer Hi-Fi support. Same with BluOS, a superior platform available on Bluesound and NAD amplifiers.

I still only get 320 kbps as mp3 via Deezer in the HEOS App, while Tidal delivers FLAC quality. Deezer App works / shows HiFi.

Is someone here already getting Deezer HiFi via HEOS?

Update: Reported via HEOS App feedback function.

I’ve downloaded the app and firmware updates. No luck so far in the HEOS app. It still shows MP3 / 320 and my AVR confirms. But I think this will synchronize soon!

Hope you are right regarding sync ….

Can‘t display the pics you added, for me it just shows 3 grey rectangles?!

The stream is still in mp3 320kbs. The Deezer team, you can comment on the situation to the owners of HEOS.
