To be more complicated.

The Core in this setup is integrated with the BV7-55 via the NL/ML converter

The setup works like a "traditional" setup, like with an Ouverture/BS3000 or any other Audiomaster with ML. In this scenario the BV7 takes the commands through infrared, but the screen stays off. Only the display at the side of the BV7 shows what's playing. Here the NL/ML converter, combined with the Core, replaces the Ouverture/BS3000 and act the same the same way.

If you select CD and the Core starts playing, but you can overrule that by start using Airplay to the Core. You can also start using Airplay to the Core from standby and the converter will trigger the BV7-55 in audiomode (no screen).

If you stop casting or airplaying to the Core, then after some time, the system will go to standby, yes. The same counts when your playlist has been  played and stops.

I am sorry for taking it up again, however I needed to confirm with Bang & Olufsen Support again, after information I have received from this forum. So I asked following:

Question:

The built-in Deezer app on the Bang & Olufsen application only supports normal Deezer”

I really don't understand the above B&O support statement :-(

The B&O app is only a Deezer "controller", not a a Deezer "music player", that is controlling the B&O device's integrated music service, i.e. Deezer so Hifi or not at the app level is irrelevant.

When you have a subscription to Deezer Hifi, that your B&O device is Deezer HiFi capable and that the track you are playing is available in HiFi format, then the B&O app shows the FLAC logo close to the Deezer icon in the now playing screen as mentioned by other members.

Question:

Answer:

"That is correct the Bang & Olufsen App's Deezer integration only supports normal Deezer playback from the app itself, HiFi is supported via Airplay and Chromecast by your Beosound Core. "

Question:

"Just a last question, why is it stated ”FLAC” in the Bang & Olufsen App when playing from Beosound Core?

As I understand from your earlier reply this is not correct?"

Answer:

"B&O app will indeed showcase that the reproduced file is FLAC as it is being reproduced from a Deezer HiFi account, but unfortunately due to the different bandwith that HiFi Deezer uses and the one that the B&O app can handle, the format will adapt to one that our App is able to stream.

We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused you."

What is your thoughts about this?

Seems incredible.

The app handles FLAC over DLNA.

MM

I think the given answer simply isn't correct!

The app doesn't need to handle the stream, but only the information which comes with the music. If you use the app to start the music, you can walk away or shut off your app and the music keeps playing. So, the music doesn'r go through the app. As simple as that.

Bandwidth isn't an issue. Despite the 100Mb ethernetsocket, it has enough margin for Deezer HiFi. Do not forget that Deezer HiFi is the same as uncompressed music, like the stream that comes from a normal CD.
