French internet music streaming service Deezer has added a Family HiFi subscription to its packages. Family and HiFi packages are already available in Deezer, and the combination will give all their advantages: collective access to streaming audio as Hi-Fi without ads.
- The MusicCast app allows you to stream a from the usual suspects: Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Napster, Qobuz and TuneIn, plus it will happily access NAS drives and play nicely with AirPlay.
- Deezer HiFi users can stream FLAC on Chromecast with compatible devices (ie HiFi speakers with Chromecast built-in technology). To start streaming in high fidelity, all you have to do is select your compatible speakers from the listed devices, using the above steps.
- It is true that HiFi users can stream their songs in FLAC format to an AirPlay speaker without loss of quality. IOS converts the decoded audio data to ALAC, which is the Apple equivalent of FLAC and is a lossless compression format. About AirPlay 2, it consists mostly of 2 improvements compared to AirPlay.
First of all, subscribers of Deezer HiFi will be able to switch to the family-high-fi tariff (nothing is said about Deezer Family). In the US, for example, you will have to pay an additional $5 per month for this. But the Family HiFi package will allow you to organize up to six individual profiles, protected by a password.
In addition, the Family HiFi subscriber will receive parental control rights. At the same time, all family members will be able to enjoy the benefits of the HiFi package. Especially for them, Deezer will generate a Family Mix according to the average data on family music preferences.
The HiFi package (and now Family HiFi) gives you access to 70 million tracks in 16-bit CD quality, which you can listen to on multiple devices, including iOS, Android, desktop PCs, and audio systems with streaming features.
Deezer’s offer is not a novelty in streaming audio. For the same price, you can use Amazon Music HD. Tidal will cost a third more, and Qobuz will be slightly cheaper. However, audio as above CD on Deezer is not yet available.
