I have Marantz NA6006 streamer and I’m not able to do as you descibed in step 1. I’ll watch this thread with baited breath. When Deezer have enabled HiFi support via HEOS I will re-subscribe to HiFi, on a long term / permanent basis. Thank you for your suggestion but the reason I purchased a Denon amp with HEOS support was to enable streaming support right at source without involving any third party devices like an xBox, PC, or Playstation (which all generate their own noise, consume their own electricity, and introduce processing losses in the signal path).Īs Spotify Connect offers the most user friendly experience with no loss of quality compared with Deezer via my receiver’s integrated streaming support, I will stick with that.
If you have Xbox One (S, X) at home, you should try to stream it through Xbox AirServer application, this will make possible to disable all wifi and network connections in your amp, and you’ll get straight full analog mode from toslink connection, and will keep deezer hifi as cheap service. Here's hoping Spotify roll out HiFi streaming soon.
While Spotify is limited to 320Kbps the usability and integration of the platform just puts the competition to shame. What the industry needs is a platform similar to Spotify Connect which allows other streaming services like Tidal or Deezer to select the target playback device from right within the app itself rather than relying on third party integration from the likes of HEOS. For my use case, there's no benefit to me over using Spotify until HEOS streaming is supported at the advertised HiFi / Lossless bitrates. Just signed up for Deezer HiFi as a cheaper alternative to Tidal for use with my Denon home cinema receiver and very disappointed to see the quality limited to MP3 320Kbps.Īlso very disappointed to see this thread dragging on for a year with no resolution. and realized that the app itself is uncomfortable to use, so I do not like it at all, and therefore I do not wait for HiFi support there at all.Ĭheers to all, and happy listening! Take cheap used Xbox, and be happy with a very useful media device, for many purposes, like video, audio, network, gaming, even CD playing -) Moreover, I tried to play Deezer tracks in Heos app. Than you need to select audio output option of Xbox “stereo pcm” and send it via toslink to external DAC or to you device if it has optical in.īoth option were perfectly fine to me. You need to have Iphone or Ipad, so you can stream you music to Xbox (it receives it, and up sample it to 16/48 only).
You can install on your Xbox a relatively cheap app “Airserver” which support Airplay 2 protocol. whith optical (tosllink) digital audio out.
So, how to solve this issue and get to down sampled music streamed wirelessly to you home stereo setup? Here we currently have two options, and I have used them both with pleasure: I will not blame anybody here, I have read all the history, and can confirm only, that till now () HEOS app, does not stream Deezer HiFi in lossless format to my Marantz PM7000n, at least it shows me “mp3 320 k.bit” in the app, when playing Deezer through the app, having HiFi subscription. Dear All! I am new here, and would like to share with all Marantz and Denon users my experience of listening Deezer HiFi subscription in 16/44.1 (redbook) quality at home.
