OK. Thanks for the info. I was mostly curious about how it works. At the moment I see no compelling reason to try it. Qobuz Connect (and Roon) work so well with my Weiss DAC, and I’d rather not put a streamer in front of it if it isn’t necessary.
Presto has a desktop app for Windows and Mac.
Cool! Thank you.
If Weiss ever adds support I might try it. I’ll save my Naim 3-month trial for that. I might email Weiss to ask if it’s planned. ![]()
Edit: sent Daniel Weiss an email to ask.
I think Presto can be a great addition for those mainly into classical and jazz music. The love and care for the music is obvious.
This is my second trial as I wanted to listen to it and experience it again. First trial was with Audirvāna (it has integrated Presto a while ago) and now after the support in certain Naim devices.
I don’t know if I’ll keep it, as I haven’t seen any personal choices yet that weren’t available in Qobuz either. That makes that the benefits for my use case are not really there.
But it’s good to see this option available for those who prefer it.
While I purchase CDs and downloads almost exclusively from Presto, sorry, but I see no use for their streaming service. Tidal for me does all I need and much more than Presto.
I have to say their mail service coupled with their streaming service is very good value.
They know their market, and as a British
company I was asking Naim to add them to their platform months ago
If you don’t like classical or jazz you are far better off with Qobuz etc.
They are a niche player in a crowded market, but if you look
at WiiM or BlueSound they offer Presto as an option .
This is Naim catching up
Not WiiM, currently at least.

Hi @Richard.Dane it’s now 28 days since it was suggested we update our firmware to make it Presto friendly. Still no sign of 4.6 for a Mu-so 2. Do you have any information?
When I originally posted here about Presto I did mention that the releases would be staggered as Naim can’t do all of them at the same time. The Mu-So release is being worked on, but Naim can’t give any release date - as ever, it’s ready for release when it’s ready. Sorry I can’t give you anything more concrete.
I’m looking forward to it, too. In the mean time I’m using AirPlay with the QB2 in our kitchen. It’s a compromise, but it is only a QB.
