New Naim / Focal App
7 October 2022
Naim Audio and Focal have launched a joint Focal & Naim App to unite the brands in one user-friendly app that combines the original Naim App functionality and a fresh design to support Focal’s new App-enabled product.
And the first update is here already! Version 6.0 for iOS* devices and 6.0 for Android is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Users can easily toggle between the brands’ universes by swiping left or right on the homepage. The Focal & Naim App continues to support all the Naim products that the previous app did, with the same configurations.
AirPlay 2 added to Linn DSM
11 July 2022
AirPlay 2 functionality comes to Linn DSM
AirPlay 2 functionality is being rolled out to Linn DSM music streamers. Next-generation Klimax DSM, Majik DSM/4, any Klimax DS/DSM upgraded with Organik, and all newly manufactured Selekt DSM possess AirPlay 2 hardware; the software to activate it is currently in beta, with an upcoming release version bringing this new functionality to thousands of Linn network music player owners.
AirPlay 2 is an Apple technology designed to control home audio systems and compatible 3rd-party speakers – with a tap or by just asking Siri – right from iPhone, iPad, HomePod or Apple TV.
This means that owners of the aforementioned products will be able to cast audio, in sync, not just to their Linn DSM, but also to compatible 3rd-party speakers and systems on the same network simultaneously – all via Apple’s iOS platform. This new feature will be of particular interest to Apple Music streaming platform users.
