This hi-res streaming service dedicated to jazz and classical music is now available on Focal & Naim streaming products

Presto Music, a specialist streaming service dedicated predominantly to classical and jazz music, has announced its integration into the Focal & Naim app.

The UK-based streaming service, which launched in 2023 with around 200,000 listed albums, many of which are available in 24-bit/192kHz hi-res audio, is now directly accessible on the entire range of Focal and Naim’s networked streaming products. This includes the Mu-so wireless speaker systems and Uniti all-in-one players, as well as Naim’s dedicated reference streamers.

Similar to the Tidal Connect and Qobuz Connect methods of streaming, users will be able to choose their Naim/Focal streaming product directly from the Presto Music native app and hand over music playback to the connected device, while continuing to use the app (and your smartphone or tablet) without interrupting playback.

As well as music streaming, for which Presto Music employs a more artist-friendly remuneration model than rival platforms such as Spotify, users of the service also have access to written articles and editorial content on the Presto Music app.

According to Paul Buzaa, R&D at Naim & Focal: “Our streaming platform has always been built around delivering the best possible musical experience to our customers. 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 collaboration comes as part of Presto Music’s wider integration into audio ecosystems, with the platform already available in products from Eversolo and on BluOS-powered streaming products.

Presto Music is now available via firmware update to streaming products that use the Focal & Naim platform. The company has also confirmed a three-month free trial for Focal & Naim customers, which can be redeemed by clicking on the Presto Music icon within the Focal & Naim app and selecting “Get Presto Music”.

Presto Music subscriptions start at £10.99 per month. For £13.99 per month, users gain access to ‘streaming plus’, which includes free UK shipping of physical products available via Presto Music, as well as 10 per cent off all purchases made through the platform.
