Hi

Interestingly if i use my beoplay 6 or Beocentre 1 as 'lead speaker' in multi room and play deezer it displays FLAC on the B&O App. If i select my moment or my beocentre 2 (connected by an essence) and play deezer the App doesn't say FLAC, even though i assume FLAC is distributed through each speak and system.

Hi! I have somewhat the same issue. Can anybody advise? I finally got to upgrade to Deezer Hifi the last week, but can't find any information anywhere that my Moment actually plays lossless music.

I have a Beosound Moment that is now off the beta track, so I understand that the "FLAC" indicator won't show there. My Moment currently runs 2.1.14259.227545617.

However, I would expect the "FLAC" indicator to show up in the B&O app, after having seen many of your screenshots in this thread. No such logo here. Not a Deezer logo without the "FLAC" either, I might add. I'm enclosing a screenshot.

I run the B&O app version 1.2.0.9868 on my iPad air 2 and 1.3.0.10720 on my iPhone X. Same story both places.

Anyone?

On my Essence that recording does show up as FLAC

Can you check that you signed out and signed in again with upgraded DEEZER account ?

BeoNut since '75

Signed out and in again, both on the moment and the app, as well as restarted. No change. 🤔

...and account is definitely Deezer Hifi now, according to the account page in the Deezer app...

And can you hear any difference compared to standard Deezer?

That's, with no doubt, the most difficult (and controversial) question I restrained myself to ask...

It's so hard to compare, and so... unnecessary too. But everybody wants to do that anyway 😎

Fair point, and I accept that sound is so subjective. But Deezer hifi is a different product that costs twice as much (although that doesn’t matter to me particularly). I was just intrigued to hear someone’s opinion.

When I first listened to Spotify on my BS5 and compared it to CDs in blind tests I found I preferred some songs on CD and some on Spotify. Why I cannot say.

Difficult to say but listening to AC/DC - back to back album and it sounds fantastic!

RIP Malcolm

Swapped from Spotify to Deezer hifi the other week, thanks to the link provided by Hiort on this thread - I just fancied a change, nothing more to it than that for me really.

Well, I’d like to say yes... 😐

...but I’ve read to much about perception and cognitive biases to trust myself in this... 👍

Honestly, I haven’t got the faintest idea.

I believe I can ... especially if in a stream of FLAC the odd non-FLAC track pops up !
