[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Squeezebox Classic and Deezer Hifi

[freefallrob]

Hi, I'm currently using a free month of the standard Deezer offering,
and I'm enjoying so much I'm thinking of subscribing and possibly
upgrading to 'Hifi' which offers CD quality or FLAC or whatever.

I'm very new to this streaming so bare with me.

Question is will I gain full sound quality advantage of Deezer Hifi
through my Squeezebox?

I'm using Logitech Media Server 7.9.1 and currently use the Web Control
to control the music etc. from my laptop.

Thank you,

Rob.

Well any difference in SQ is in the ear of the listener, regardless of
the technical details so you have to decide for yourself.:p

According to the link,

https://www.deezer.com/en/offers/hifi

Only available on selected sound systems and the Desktop App**. 30 days
free for new subscribers who have never activated any previous trial or
promotion. Cannot be combined with any other offer and valid one time
only.

**NOT LMS

So I would suggest that you find out the cancellation process and maybe
spring for a one month subscription to find out for yourself.

Or maybe get a family member/yourself to try the trial on your your
computer, as another user? Change your name and e-mail and payment
details, and remember to cancel before the required date.

On your LMS play some Radio Paradise flac and then the 128 and 320
streams and see if any differece is an improvement for you.

Some 128 mp3 sounds really good (I'm thinking 'fip'
(https://www.fip.fr/player) here).

I'll leave to mercy of the others :rolleyes::)

So if I can't get full fat Deezer HiFi, will the Tidal plug in allow
full resolution bit rate/whatever??

The maximum sample rate a Squeezebox Classic will support natively is
48000Hz.
LMS will downsample anything with a higher sample rate.

you can get the full deezer Hifi flac streaming if you use the ickstream
plugin/third party app. I use it, works great.
