Deezer HiFi goes up to 24-bit/192 kHz!

Great news for music lovers! Deezer HiFi now supports lossless high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz, bringing more detail, depth and clarity to your listening experience.

The best part? It's included in eligible paid Deezer plans at no extra cost. No separate Hi-Res subscription needed!

What's new?

Until now, Deezer HiFi offered lossless audio at CD quality (16-bit/44.1 kHz). With this upgrade, compatible tracks can now reach 24-bit/192 kHz.

Think of it like a high-resolution photo: more information can mean finer details. In music, this helps preserve the nuances of the original recording, from vocals and instruments to the dynamics of a performance.

What does “up to 24-bit/192 kHz” mean?

It means Deezer can support lossless high-resolution FLAC recordings at resolutions of up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

The exact resolution depends on the title and the available source master. When a high-resolution version is available, Deezer automatically prioritises the highest-quality version within the existing HiFi experience.

How do I activate it?

Simply select HiFi in your audio-quality settings. Deezer automatically prioritises the highest available quality for each track.

• Mobile: Go to Profile → Settings → Music or Audio preferences → HiFi.

• Desktop: Open the audio settings in the player and select HiFi.
   

A few things to know

• High-resolution availability
  24-bit/192 kHz is available on compatible tracks, with the quality depending on the original recording and master.

• Will you hear the difference?
  You might notice more detail and clarity, especially with compatible headphones or audio equipment. Your setup and listening environment also play a part.

• Do I need new equipment?
  Not necessarily! HiFi works on supported devices, although compatible audio equipment can help you get the most out of high-resolution sound.

• What about data usage?
  Lossless and high-resolution audio can use more data and storage, so Wi-Fi is recommended.
