Deezer Elite arrives on Sonos to put your MP3s to shame

Deezer

High quality audio is picking up the pace. We reviewed Tidal last year and loved it, and just yesterday Onkyo announced a new lossless and high-resolution service.

Today it's Deezer's turn - the company which launched a similar lossless and high-resolution streaming service in the US last year is now launching it in the UK.

The sound of Sonos

Of course the bad news is that anyone who doesn't use a Sonos system will be excluded - at least for now. This seems odd, given the success that Tidal has had with its multi-platform service, but it's very possible that a fully-fledged service will launch at some point later this year.

Current customers will get the service at no additional cost. In March there will be a 30 day trial for new customers to get to grips with the service and the company will announce the final pricing then too.

Deezer's regular quality offering costs £9.99 and its US Elite service is $19.99, so we'd hazard a guess you'll be looking at £19.99 here - the same as Tidal.
