You've probably already decided, but for those who haven't . . .
I've been a Deezer subscriber for several years. The selection and audio quality are as good as any other streamer. The app works great on my iPhone, but the macOS app gets worse with every update. It takes a good minute or more to load and often freezes while playing.
The root cause probably is that it's not designed for Apple's M series of chips:

Thank you for contacting Deezer about this issue.
Your suggestion to upgrade your desktop app for Macs to natively support Apple’s M series sounds fantastic!
I'd love to encourage you to share this idea directly on our Deezer Community portal at
https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas. By posting your suggestion there, other users will be able to see it and vote for it, which is incredibly valuable! The more votes and feedback a suggestion receives from our community, the higher priority it gets in our development considerations. This gives your idea the best chance of being noticed and potentially implemented.
The community portal is really the most effective way to get your voice heard and to see if other users share your interest in this feature. Plus, you might discover other great suggestions from fellow music lovers!
Additionally, I'll also pass your suggestion along to our appropriate team for further analysis, so it will be reviewed from multiple angles.
If you have any other questions or need help posting on the community, please let me know.
If it's still this lousy when my subscription comes up for renewal in March, I'll probably leave for Apple Music.
