but I’m still awaiting my beosound moment software update sigh...

As a recent HIFi user, I have the feeling that the B&O devices are natively capable to support Deezer WiFi and that the lock was on the Deezer side. The software updates are just made to bring the indicator that a FLAC track is being played. That’s my opinion and the fact that a M5 or an A6 can join a Moment playing a HiFi stream without any software update conforts me in this thinking. But I may be wrong....

Just checked my Deezer account. Still nothing there to suggest i can upgrade to HIFI as yet (in Australia). When is this arriving, does anyone know?

I cant see any mention of Deezer Hifi here in the UK.

Try this:

I subscribed through this.

A question for those already using the Hifi version, is there a marked difference in sound quality between the two versions on your b&O systems?

Yes you hear the difference if the recording is good.

i used the Deezer HFi playlist as suggested in this thread  before and after moving to HIFi.

But for this you need the newer beta software. Correct?

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Not so sure about that .... The latest JB beta version introduced an indicator when the streaming is FLAC, same for the IOS App, but I'm convinced that there is no B&O device limitation as they are natively able to play 16bits 44.1 Khz tracks. For me limitation comes from the Deezer side and they should have removed the Sonos only lock.

But only B&O can confirm

I think it will be interesting if beoworld make a deeper profil and then we could do collaborative playlist.

I don't understand that b&o has not an official profil on deezer to publish official playlist like they do when they publish CD before.

I've managed to upgrade to Deezer Hi Fi today and my credit card has been charged. I used a link that Hiort had posted.

No where on my B&O App though does it say it is playing in FLAC Lossless. I'm using version 1.2.0.9900 of the App. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

The music  does sound better, so I'm hoping that it actually has upgraded to FLAC.
