Presto Music now streaming on Focal & Naim

Presto Music, the specialist streaming service dedicated to classical, jazz and audiophile listening, is pleased to announce its integration into the Focal & Naim App, bringing seamless high-resolution music streaming to Focal & Naim’s entire range of connected streaming products.

From the versatile Mu-so wireless speaker systems and Uniti all-in-one players to Naim’s reference-level dedicated streamers, users can now enjoy direct access to Presto Music’s extensive catalogue of expertly curated recordings in outstanding high-resolution quality – all backed by Presto’s Fair Play initiative, which ensures artists are paid more fairly (per second of music streamed, rather than per track) than from other streaming services.

The integration marks another significant milestone in Presto Music’s continued international expansion. Following the streaming service’s rollout into multiple Asian territories last year, alongside broader global availability across Europe, North America and beyond, Presto Music is now accessible to music lovers in an increasingly wide range of countries through one of the world’s most respected high-performance streaming ecosystems.

The latest development also joins a growing portfolio of integrations with leading hi-fi brands and playback platforms, with Presto Music already working seamlessly across ecosystems including BluOS and Eversolo, as well as through the acclaimed Audirvāna audiophile playback platform.

Presto x Focal & Naim = seamless streaming

Developed through close collaboration between the teams at Presto Music and Naim Audio’s R&D department, the integration has been engineered to deliver both exceptional sound quality and an intuitive user experience. It enables seamless playback directly to compatible Naim devices while preserving full access to the rich editorial content, expert recommendations and deep discovery experience that define the Presto Music app.

Within the Focal & Naim App, Presto Music features as one of the headline integrated streaming service options, with streamlined access to music alongside comprehensive “Playing Now” information and playback controls. At the same time, the experience has been carefully designed to retain the strengths of the dedicated Presto Music app, which remains the primary environment for browsing, discovery and library management.

The result is a Connect-style “best of both worlds” experience familiar to streaming users: listeners can select a Focal or Naim device directly from within the Presto Music app and hand over playback seamlessly, while continuing to explore music, read editorial content and curate listening sessions without interruption.

“This partnership brings together Presto Music’s specialist expertise in classical, jazz and audiophile listening with Focal & Naim’s renowned streaming architecture and award-winning audio performance,” said Chris O’Reilly, CEO of Presto Music. “Both brands share a deep commitment to musical discovery, sound quality and long-term listening enjoyment - a natural fit that brings our listeners closer than ever to the music they love.”

“At Naim, our streaming platform has always been built around delivering the best possible musical experience to our customers,” said Paul Buzza from Focal & Naim R&D.
“Integrating Presto Music into Focal & Naim streamers gives our community direct access to one of the finest high-resolution classical and jazz catalogues available today – a perfectly suited partnership”

The integration will be available via firmware updates to the Focal & Naim streamers, starting from 6^th August.

 

About Presto Music
Founded in 1986, Presto Music has spent nearly four decades helping people discover, explore and enjoy classical and jazz music. Based in the UK and shipping worldwide, it offers one of the largest specialist catalogues anywhere, across physical media, high-resolution downloads, musical instruments, books and sheet music, and a fast-growing international streaming service now live throughout Europe, North America and into Asia.
At its core is a specialist in-house editorial team of writers and musicians whose reviews and exclusive artist interviews bring expert music knowledge and unparalleled insight to listeners. The same care drives Presto Music’s Fair Play Initiative, which sees creators paid per second of music streamed, rather than ‘per play’ like other services – resulting in payments of up to 10x higher per album streamed.
