Hi. I have an Arcam RPlay. I use it for streaming music services. It supports Deezer, Tidal, etc. My question is what is the Max resolution for music using Deezer via the DTS Play-Fi app? Can it play Flac at 44khz and 16 bits?

Hi @efefefef , now we also have on Yamaha MusicCast and Moon :)

So, you can access HiFi on the sound systems on the list that have the HiFi sign on next to the name.
You can also have HiFi on our new desktop app.

Hi @Jose Alfaro , to make sure HQ is enabled, you should leave your settings on enhanced. The only thing exclusive to your Sonos and B&O devices is FLAC quality. On other devices it's only up to 320kbit/s - depending on the settings you've chosen. 😉

Hi! So you mean, that only Sonos and B&O will stream lossless natively? Not all the other listed

devices if they have deezer streaming integrated in firmware/native app?
Choosing the Hi-Fi system now.. it is vital to understand

when using Tidal on my DTS playfi app to my anthem processor and Paradigm speakers they stream at full cd quality but would prefer deezer over tidal at this quality level. are we limited to only 320 through DTS playfi if we pay for hifi flac lossless audio? tidal does it, lets get it going.

Hi there, Thanks a lot for your feedback. As for now Hifi is only available with our Desktop Beta app and ohn certain sound systems. But we're working hard on extending the supporting devices. We'll keep you posted about any updates! 🙂

Please, I need help regarding to this topic.
If I have sound bar samsung HW-M450 supporting FLAC, connecting to my laptop and i'm using your desktop app, that's mean I can hear HIFI quality?

even further, if I don't own spearkers supporting FLAC, I just only need using your desktopp app and HIFI subscription and I still get HIFI quality?

If you're streaming via the desktop app, then yes.

Hi!
I recently started to use Deezer instead of Tidal. I like everything with Deezer better but I use a Play-Fi streamer to my Hifi-system and your lossless audio still dosen't support Play-Fi. For me it is not interesting to go on with Deezer if there is no future with Play-fi. Is it something upcoming i an resonable time?

With best regards,
Viktor Karlsson

Hi Viktor, we don't have any information about that at the moment, but thanks for creating this idea, let's hope it gets more votes to help it gain attention and be implemented 🙂

Settings all on max quality, and this is NOT an issue with Qobuz, but Deezer thus far plays only at mp3 level.  Deezer is on Audiolab 6000n Play and Play-Fi App’s approved and pre-loaded compatible list fyi. This is totally unacceptable. Please advise
