I must confess, I have enjoyed listening to the high quality streaming from Tidal but I just can't support JZ any longer. His social and cultural values have driven me away. Qobiz isn't an alternative in the US so are there any hi-rez options?

Deezer Elite is exclusively on Squeezebox products, I use it with a Squeezebox Connect which I had modified by Wyred 4 Sound in California. They replaced the digital stages and upgraded the power supply. Sounds damn good.I subscribe to Tidal as well, don't worry they'll be out of business soon. Their core demographic they are wasting money trying to reach doesn't pay for music :)

No, Deezer Elite is exclusive to Sonos. I wish it was available on squeezebox/LMS
You can easily get it on LMS... The Deezer Elite for Sonos is a 'Sales Game'.To the Original Poster. If you had not embedded a Political Statement in your Question, you would have received a lot more 'serious responses'. But, you went there, so don't be surprised.
So here is what you do.
1.) Buy a Sonos Connect from Crutchfield Electronics.
2.) Sign up for Deezer Elite when you get it.
3.) Once you have your Deezer Elite Account created you can run it on LMS. I can't remember whether it will work just by installing the Deezer App on LMS or use Ickstream. Either way it works fine.
4.) Return the Sonos to Crutchfield within 60 days for a full refund. Or you might decide to keep the Sonos (That's what crutchfield is betting on)I preferred Spotify so, I got rid of Deezer Elite. Not as big a catalog as Spotify and twice the price. I can't hear a Diff. Between 320 kbps vs. Lossless FLAC.

Thank you for the useful info. Had no idea about this "workaround" for getting Deezer on LMS. It's much appreciated, as are your comments about the two streaming services.

Your Welcome..... It's only a 'Sales Deal' and once you have your Deezer Elite account, they don't care what you run it on.

Deezer is CD-quality, $9.99/month.
As has been pointed out, I was wrong about CD quality for $9.99. Sorry for the bad information.
Thanks for the serious response, Brody.
Unless I've completely missed something, Deezer's CD quality streaming is for Sonos users only. Their "high quality" streams are at 320 kbps. I don't think there is a viable alternative to Tidal for 16/44.1 playback right now so I will probably go back to Spotify's 320 kbps service for exploring and purchase CDs of the artists I really like.
For $10 if you'd like you can get Google music, on top of that you get no advertisements on YouTube with the subscription.
Just another option, I have that service as well.
Cheers!
Simple, go back to physical media.
.., and Ty-D-Bol. You'll definitely need all three streaming services.
Enjoy!
