Just read this:https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2017/04/06/review-roon-tidal-and-totaldac-part-two-delving-into-roon/Those that have tried using different streaming solutions seem to have settled on Roon which sorts the metadata and curates beautifully and draws music from the streaming service Tidal. Classical music which is notoriously difficult to present and play properly works well with Roon and Tidal. Should B&O have used this solution rather than their current buggy and insolvable problems?

Should the Moment have gone with Roon and Tidal?

When the Olive One seemed to in trouble (lack of updates) a lot of owners were online begging the manufacturer to open source the operations system so that Roon could be used going forward. But apart from development issues, wouldn't this tie everyone into yet another subscription layer, e.g. Roon + Tidal?

The Moment works just fine with Deezer and TuneIn. The issues have been with how it keeps continually harvesting our DLNA collection and trying to replace cover art of our local music collection.
TIDAL is the best High Fidelity Music Streaming service (lossless) there is..... much better then Deezer!
With the upcoming Deezer Hifi upgrade, which allows streaming in Flac quality, I believe the bigger library of Deezer, cheaper price, and supposedly better sound compared to Tidal, would prove that Deezer is the better choice in the end.
But it has been a long time coming.
I hope so, then it would be great to use Deezer Hifi on the Moment.... looking forward.
That is coming.Sounds great 🙂I hope so, then it would be great to use Deezer Hifi on the Moment.... looking forward.

Hiort,
Any idea when Deezer HiFi support might be arriving - this year? I have Tidal/Roon elsewhere and it's great but I'd love Deezer HiFi on my Moment even more, now that it's working as originally intended. I am sure of it 😁
According to the email dealers received, next month
Deezer hifi will be made available through the B&O app (ver.1.1.5) as well, so you can stream lossless to your Essence, BeoSound 2 as well.
Off topic, but a nice touch with ver 1.1.5 of the Bang & Olufsen App is that it will support older products as well, more specifically Beoplay A8, Playmaker, Beoplay A9 1.gen and BeoLit 12.
So you do not need the Moment to get lossless Deezer playback.
