If we have the track on FLAC, it'll be streamed in that format, simple as that :relaxed:@akdmnt 

But if you'd like confirmation, only the app can show you the label at the moment. I'll be forwarding your feedback in the meantime.

Thank you for coming back! @semektet 

Could you please take a screenshot of your audio settings like I've done above?

Hey @tal.v @sipre 

That's because we don't develop those 3rd party apps.

They're the ones who need to add HiFi streaming for the Deezer connection on their app, then reach out to Deezer and say "please activate HiFi for us"  and our developers do that in a flash.

The good news is that we're updating our integrations (during 2021) to make it easier for developers to enable HiFi on their apps :nerd:

Hi, good to know, as I’m stpped my Tidal subscription as of recently, and in favour of Deezer… now Im in doubts(

 

Could you please post the same measurement scenario, but with Tidal’s app player on the phone and via CCA? thanks

I can tell you that we stream in FLAC, HiFi. The results of your analysis may be different because Tidal doesn't use the same format.

@Rudi 

 

Hi, please clarify which “format” Deezer uses in this scenario, thanks

Deezer is not streaming flac data over chromecast audio.first i heard the tiny sound without body coming from tidal. Theb installed network data app on my android and started listening to music over my phone, not streamed, on data traffic im always reading 7-12mb/s data download, whatever the song i jump , initially i always see +5mb/s data but when i start streaming over Chromecast audio, i could never see mb/s transfer rates, its always around 300-400kb/s then drops to 10kb/s levels...this is mp3 guys not flac data.deezer is lossy on chromecast...unfortunately tidal is better option.

Yes this is weird, right? I have similar results in data traffic... Would like some explanation

Explanation is also sounds logical to me that chromecast audio does dowloading within it self independant from mobile phone.it seems correct, when i close my wireless on the phone, album keeps playing, data transfer is done between router and chromecast, not from the phone.we need to check what the router transfers on that time.not the phone transfer.

Yes. I checked my Chromecast-data traffic itself on my wifi and it gives me the similar results. Uses minimal data, doesn't seem to be FLAC ....  ??? (All my settings are in HiFi for sure)

Hey @Adrian1 

Sorry, what are you referring to? This isn't an issue, but could you explain your experience in a bit more detail? Happy to help! :relaxed:

Did you check data between chromecast-phone or chromecast-router? You have to check router one.

With the app I have I check the connection between Chromecast and Acces Point, so it's the same as Chromecast-Router.

Explanation could be there's compression and de-compression going on? Is that possible with Flac?

Now im hopeless, its definitely lossy if you monitored correctly :(((

Bonsoir ,

en effet je n'ai pas fais le test.

Je prendrai le temps de faire un test de comparaison avec Tidal , car je trouve que le son de Tidal me semble bien meilleur ...

Hi 

New with deezer hifi 

It is really a problem

Actually if you stream more than one track, you have no way to know what is the audio quality.

I started with HIFI icon, when I stopped casting (CCA) after few tracks, I noticed the HQ icon... 

Really bodering 

 

Please solve it

Perfect @semektet 
Forwarded all comments and screenshots to our devs. Just to confirm, do you have iOS 14 installed? And Chromecast, is the device built-in or is it a Chromecast Audio?

Will get back to you once I've got more info :thumbsup_tone2:
