Deezer connect through HEOS is not available. We faithful hope it will be someday, as that would make things more seamless. HEOS was updated this spring to allow more customization of the app home screen and to get you into Deezer a little faster. But the ideal would be to control HEOS through the Deezer app using Deezer connect.

I can comment on your first paragraph. Sadly, there’s no Deezer connect in Heos. I have found with HEOS, you are better off building a queue, playing a full album, playing a Deezer playlist, randomizing an artist, or just playing your Flow. We do have lossless at last. 

Have you tried removing Deezer from Heos and re-linking it? That’s a likely solution. 

I’m not a Deezer employee, James, but I would love to see what you are talking about. Flow works better the more you use it. And shuffle music is available in several places, mainly under favorites (when online) and downloaded music (when offline). Can we get a screenshot? Also, was Shuffle My Music ever a tab? Wasn't it always a button you had to find under favorites? It was never front and center on the home screen, was it? Also this thread should not be here under Community Club. It should be under Features and Feedback.

It only plays 16-bit. I’m happy with that, given how long it took for us to get here. Before today, the only way to get FLAC audio to my Marantz DVR was to use the Deezer app plus a Google TV box (Chromecast). That’s 24-bit. But honestly, I can’t tell the difference between 16 and 24-bit. 

YES!!! It now works. This is a glorious day! We have waited YEARS for this! Thank you, Denon and Deezer!

I’ve downloaded the app and firmware updates. No luck so far in the HEOS app. It still shows MP3 / 320 and my AVR confirms. But I think this will synchronize soon!  

Some significant improvements! Thanks!

When HEOS announced a major app update in December 2023, I thought this was it. I am so glad to see so many Deezer customers have been waiting for years for this. I will reach out to Denon. I find it inexcusable that a DLNA based platform like HEOS doesn’t yet support this. Meanwhile Yamaha MusicCast, a very similar platform, has Deezer Hi-Fi support. Same with BluOS, a superior platform available on Bluesound and NAD amplifiers. 

Wiim mini and pro now appear to be sorted for Deezer Hi-Fi. But we users can't stress this enough: every day Spotify lossless is in development is a day Deezer should be working to make its Hi-Fi service available on every major streaming device and protocol. Android TV, BluOS, HEOS, MusicCast, WIIM. Of those I list, most are sorted out. HEOS is not yet done. Deezer has a slightly bigger library than Spotify. It has a better shuffle and flow functionality than Tidal. It should be ait more popular than it is among audiophiles. Interfacing and compatibility projects should be a priority.

I just got a Marantz Cinema 70s receiver. I was surprised to see that HEOS doesn’t support Deezer Hi-Fi. Yamaha MusicCast does. Both use what we used to call DLNA. I know that Deezer is only 3% of the streaming market, but Denon and Deezer need to get this over the finish line. Until then, I will use a Chromecast device to get lossless audio to my home receiver.
