Deezer HiFi icon disappears when I stream to Chromecast Audio

Hi, it's the Asus android app showing the stats on my Asus router. 

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

@Rudi 

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

Will do, I'm away from home, so next week 😉

I was just speculating, I don't know what Tidal does, only what we do here. And HiFi for us is FLAC, other than that, MP3.

Our Chromecast integration uses the latest Google protocols and it's fully HiFi compatible 

Hi @Rudi 

So that means that all Chromecast devices are HiFI compatible, even the first generation?

Can confirm streaming hifi to chromecast audio from a Samsung galaxy s10 running android 11  doesn't work.

Using latest app. When playing music on my phone hifi label shows, as soon you start casting hifi label disappears. 

Not worth 15 (!) euros a month. Literally deezer hifi selling point is not working. This is on the border of scamming your customer.

I'm cancelling my subscription as deezer doesn't support hifi streaming to Google chromecast audio. 

Also tried from my ipad. Same results. No hifi only low bitrate mp3. Analysed with network meter. 

And Rudi's argument that we can't compare deezer hifi to tidal is not true. A lossy audio file is around 3-7MB, a lossless file at least 15-20MB,no matter what encoding it has. So it's fairly easy to tell what quality is being streamed. 

Deezer is not streaming hifi to chromecast audio. Selling their product under false pretenses. It would be okay if deezer would be upfront and honest about it, instead that have a community manager like Rudi that lies to its customers. Shameless money grab. 

Please do not spread misinformation. I have measured the traffic drawn by my streamer, and for the 3-4 minute song deezer with high fidelity settings has downloaded 25-28 mb while with high quality setting the downloaded data was always lower than 10mb. I have done the test with the same song on qobuz and tidal through chromecast and the downloaded file size is the same. 
 

qobuz and deezer both downloaded most of the file on the intial start of the song while tidal downloaded gradually with around 1,3 mbps. So when measuring the traffic coming to the router measure it for the whole duration of the song. 

Have some trust in what Rudi is saying, people.
