To answer my own post, no, Deezer API doesn't support HiFi playback at
all.

However there is a grey area, and that's accessing Deezer via the web
UI.  Logging in to web UI giver you an 'ari', a web cookie which can be
used with some tools found on Github (deezloader)

I managed to edit the spotty plugin so that you can choose a track in
Spotty, and the corresponding CD quality FLAC gets downloaded from
Deezer & played back.  This works for 90% now (I can't failback to
Spotify yet, if the track doesn't exist) so it's a proof of concept for
a working, new generation Deeze HiFi plugin.

Writing a full plugin is a huge challenge for me, I'm afraid my
programming skills are way too rusty to pull that off.  If there is any
interest in Deezer HiFi, I'd gladly share what I did so far to make it
work.
