Yeah, Dee’s software decoder sucks, i cannot believe my old Symbian UIQ phone pulls better sound from mp3s than this “HQ” streamer.The need for this feature is real.
There simply is no need, when we know that it is 16x44.1 which is the default setting on all Windows PCs. Just advise users NOT to change this setting.It is a very useful feature for services that offer variable stream resolutions, like T and Q, but Deezer is not in that category, which may be an advantage for non-geeky users who leave settings at default.Also consider not every user will like Exclusive mode, where no Games nor YouTubes could play audio when “background” Deezer music is playing in Exclusive Mode. Consider that “Exclusive Mode” is only needed to switch the resolution, which anyway is a match to default setting… moot point.There shall be extra support calls (“My other apps crash/stop/do no play sound! You broke my PC!”) while not necessarily improving sound quality.
So I’m new to Deezer and trying to catch up… I’m currently streaming Deezer via a BlueSound Node 2, but I’m shopping for an upgraded DAC. Do I understand correctly that I will not be able to run Deezer on a laptop or tablet connected to the DAC via USB or I2S and use the DAC to process the streaming files? This will be a deal-breaker for me. Why would I pay for HiFi streaming and then use a terrible built-in DAC? No you’re not going to use built-in laptop DAC, you will be using you OS mixer, which is fully digital. So bits go into this piece of code, and when you turn your laptop’s volume up or down, the numbers are correspondingly scaled to less or more. In addition, if your output (in the OS mixer) is set to something not matching Deezer’s HIFI stream of 16b x 44.1KHz, the stream is resampled by the CPU and OS mixer code, which may introduce some issues but maybe not (depending on that code, and OS version). As a bonus, you may peruse all sorts of “audio correction” which sometimes
