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

This is great news, although I’ll wager that statistically most Deezer users will not benefit from this due to Bluetooth limitations. Airplay 1 is better, but still does not support HiRes. Would a Deezer Connect feature that allows control of a streamer integrated by wire in to a HiFi system be the next logical upgrade for Deezer?

I’m genuinely happy to see that deezer has responded for those who have been asking for this!

Obviously not everyone will use it, but to have the choice is really what it’s all about.

Some have high-end equipment and a dedicated area to listen and will absolutely love this. Others, like myself, listen via their phones and earbuds while they wash the car in the driveway and will stream at 320 kbps.

A polite reminder that if deezer tracks with industry standards (usually based on label availability), only a small fraction of the catalog will be available in hi-res. That is normal, expected, out of deezer’s control, and should not be a cause for complaints.

Enjoy your music!

Personally, I listen to my music at 320 kbps and I don’t notice any difference when using higher-quality settings on my Sonos speakers or headphones. However, I think it’s a good thing that the option is there for those who appreciate it, and that users now have the freedom to choose.

​@Jaime.Deezer  Deezer already offered CD-quality audio before this update. Everything I’ve listened to since the update—verified via my DAC, which displays the playback quality—is still in that same format (which is perfectly fine and sounds fantastic). But, speaking from a position of total ignorance: is there a list of albums that have had their quality upgraded? Will there soon be a dedicated section for albums with quality higher than 16-bit/44.1kHz?

It would be great to be able to see the specific quality of the songs or albums currently being played.

In any case, congratulations to the programmers and developers at Deezer for making this quality improvement possible.

😊

P.S. Is it possible to request an option to upload personal tracks in higher quality? Previously, we were limited to 320kbps MP3s—could we now upload them in a better format?

That’s great; the company is becoming more competitive.

Although, for me, it’s irrelevant, I don’t need anything more than what was already available on Deezer, and I don’t hear any difference.

Mein Eversolo DMP A8 zeigt die Bitrate an, allerdings habe ich jetzt ca. 100 Songs getestet die woanders 24/44 oder höher sind. Bei Deezer alles nur 16/44. Ist das ganze nur ein Werbeverspechen ???

bevor jemand fragt, ja ich habe in der APP die höchste Einstellung 24/192 gewählt.

I found an interesting article from Jan 2026 about countries where Spotify Lossless is already available and also where it is not available yet:

Spotify Lossless Country List: Where Spotify’s Lossless Streaming Is Available - Sptfy.bio Blog

As you might know, they do not offer hi-res lossless audio, only 24bit 44.1khz. So this new Deezer offer could be an incentive for Spotify users to switch, especially if they still wait for Spotify Lossless to arrive in their country.

About available hi-res albums on Deezer you should maybe take an educated guess which ones might be the usual suspects for first releases. 😉

Also don’t forget to set your Windows audio settings to 24bit 192khz if your sound card or sound chip and its driver allow this. 

But at android all resempled at 48 kHz with system mixer. When direct dac support?
