Okay, I was talking to Deezer support for two hours today, and it turns out the issue was with my account, apparently the API simply will not update my account to play flac, so just for fun I tried to create a new account with 1 month trial of hifi, and lo and behold, hifi works and my Touch plays flacs via Deezer. So I have simply shut down my old account and am now using the new one with hifi. Awesome so far! However, having used Tidal in the meanwhile (also a hifi trial), I must say Tidals sound quality is better. Tested with their hifi setting (not master) to make a fair comparison, their files just sound cleaner, crisper and more dynamic. I didn't think there could be a difference on flacs, so using Uncle Google I found this interesting article. From their conclusion I would say Tidal has done the flacs the right way.
