In brief, the answer was that to get Deezer Elite you will need to play through Sonos, and this will generally happen on 19th March. On all other devices, e.g. phones, tablets, it drops down to Deezer Premium+ by default. In other words, the Deezer Elite in Sonos becomes active via the service that is set up via your Sonos system. That is the tie up between those companies.
At least in Finland Deezer Elite was offered to existing customers for the first time last friday. I've been using it ever since, even though I'm kinda disappointed that lossless streaming only works with Sonos. Still cheaper than Tidal (when paying for one year in advance).
Also, in some review Sonos representative did mention that they are working on hires support, but didn't say if it meant new hardware or if it could be handled with software upgrade. They did however update their wireless solution by lowering the price of Bridge and introducing Boost. Wonder if that's related...
