Beosound Core Deezer HIFI

I do need to that. First will have to train someone how to do that.

Dear,

May I know how to set "Deezer is set to CD in my system, making beolab 5 to automatically listen to optical port"? Such setting is in the B&O APP? 

Can you give me a screenshot for the Deezer -> CD setting? Many thanks!

Danielshen: I set it via beolink converter nl/ml. CD-source is ”Music” equal to start Deezer..

Razlaw: My initial thought for writing to B&O, was that I felt a "different" in audioquality when playing in my office versus livingroom.

Setup in office: Beolink Converter NL/ML, Imac with Deezer app (can handle Deezer HIFI), Beosound 3 connected from 3,5mm output from Imac to the converter line-in...

Have someone else switch sources for you, that way you don’t “know” what’s playing, hifi or not.

....and (volume) level match precisely - best using a soundmeter of some kind.

Even a slight difference in the volume level can fool you to think that one is better or worse than the other.

That’s done in the setup of the NL/ML converter. Set the ML, CD function to NL, Music function.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.
They need to be updated!

I have Deezer Hifi and a shop full of Bang & Olufsen and it is supported. Here’s a screenshot from our Core that’s integrated into a Beosound Shape. If you subscribe to Hifi it automatically detects it and if the file is FLAC it displays it at the top.

In the Google home app I also switch on Full Dynamic Range feature which improves the sound quality.

W5bno123: Thank you for clearing this up. 👍 I hope you are correct and they just need to update the customer service...

To be more complicated. 

The Core in this setup is integrated with the BV7-55 via the NL/ML converter. So, the music goes through the network to the converter, which transfers it from digital to analog audio. Officially the NL/ML converter isn't, or shouldn't be Deezer HiFi capable. 

Connecting the speakers directly to the Core (which might influence settings in software inside Core), the Core definitely is Deezer HiFi capable. Confirmed by my dealer and indicated by the " Flac" sign on the app. On the Deezer app you will see that the HQ indication (when playing on your iDevice changes to " HiFi", when you select the Core.

Beobuddy: Good feedback! Most appreciated.

However if you look at my setup, sound is distributed optically from core directly to beolab5.. So I do not think sound is going to the converter & back in this case. It ceartanly does when I playing from other linkrooms, so you are correct there..

Other than that I do not know what else settings can be done in core. Deezer is just a login option.. No sound-quality-selector there.. 🙂
