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!
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

@Rudi 

I am also waiting for Deezer HiFi to be available on dts play Fi since last year.

Hope you push and keep update the status of this development for us 

Thanks in advance.

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

Do you have an existing Deezer integration with your Audiolab, @Hythe? If yes, the answer from us is probably yes too. We're working on updating our integrations this year but this work will take a while, it needs a lot of development. Stay tuned to the community for further updates! Have a nice weekend in the meantime :relaxed:

I would also request Deezer to implement the hifi function to work on dts play-fi. Play-fi is a very common software and would bring hifi streaming to lots of devices. Disappointed to realise Deezer hifi is not supported in it.

Dear Rafael

         I already ask to DTS-Play-fi and IAG group(audiolab owner).

Both of them replied that now DTS-Play fi team are now working with Deezer to update API and platform in order to enable Deezer Hifi function on DTS play fi.

         Please kindly help to confirm from Deezer side about this update.

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.

I choose Deezer because Japan anime song with HiFi quality is only available on your music services.(spotify and tidal doesn't have these anime song.)

 I just brought audiolab 6000N for my HiFi audio system without knowing that it cannot play for HiFi quality via DTS play fi .

I already checked in Deezer community and found other with the same problem.

Question is "Do Deezer have any plan to solve this problem?" Yes or no please let me know the reason. Is it about the cost that Deezer have to pay for DTS to make HiFi quality available on DTS play fi app.

If you cannot solve this problem , I might have to sell my audiolab 6000N.

What is status of this? I too have this issue one year later than above post. Using Audiolab 6000n Play (that uses Play-Fi) and no use in having Deezer if it is not going to stream H-Fi at lossless levels, but only at mp3 :(. Please get everyone a definitive answer

I am on Deezer Premium 3 months probation period. No chance I’ll stay and pay if can’t listen to High Fidelity with Play-FI. Play-FI is my medium for using streaming audio with my integrated amplifier. 

At this moment only MP3 quality is available with Play-FI. That is four years after this discussion started..

Maybe Play-FI users is not profitable enough consumer group, given the cost of enabling HiRes for Play-FI. No idea. Luckily there are other players: tidal, qobuz, amazon..

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

This is really a deal braker for me. I am 5 yeara deezer user but it is ridiculous that hi fidelity is not aupported for dts play. 
 

is there any plan for implementation any time soon? Sadly I must switch to Tidal…

Hi @Luka Jurasin as far as I am concern, there is nothing in the short term on the roadmap regarding dts play.
Apologies for the inconvenience

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 there. Audiolab 6000N is not supported yet and we don't know when it will be supported. I passed your feedback on to the right team and we'll update this link as soon as we have any more news about it.
