Streaming FLAC on Chromecast

Deezer HiFi, which offers FLAC-quality music, is now compatible with Chromecast and speakers with Chromecast built-in technology.

Most Chromecast units produced after 2015 support FLAC. To start streaming in high fidelity, all you have to do is tap the Cast icon .

And, you can now cast high fidelity audio directly from your mobile to your Chromecast device. (Note: it is not currently possible to listen to FLAC via Deezer when attempting to output directly from a smartphone.)

Support for casting in FLAC and MP3 is coming soon to the Deezer desktop app.
