@hgeifman Presto is focused on albums, definitely not playlists. Just my taste of course, but when I listen to classical and jazz, I typically listen by album, so it works for me. I do like their focus on introducing new albums and how I can find new music by classical genre by example. 

Thanks for the heads up about Audirvāna Studio, I will look into it.

Not sure why anyone would want Classical or Jazz playlists curated by someone else, but if that is a priority you would be better served by something like Apple, Spotify

Thanks for your email above regarding classical and jazz playlists. I also mostly listen to albums since I am able to pick and choose what I want. On the other hand, sometimes, I select a QoBuz playlist to listen to. AND, in many cases, I discover an ALBUM that I really like and make it a favorite. Qobuz playlists are excellent way to discover new music.

I suggest you listen to the QoBuz Infigo Audio playlist. These are the Infigo Audio company’s tracks they use at the various audio shows. Infigo Audio will be curating this list by adding and deleting tracks over time so it might change gradually. I find that I really like their track selection and, of course, I have made some of these albums my favorite.

The Infigo Audio playlist contains the essential tracks in Hi-Res 24-bit for an unequalled sound quality (FLAC 24-Bit / 192kHz). These tracks are fun to listen to.

Presto looks interesting and they have a nice catalog with some rare stuff that isn't easy to find elsewhere. However their Android app is very basic and crashed several times on my Pixel 8 Pro smartphone, just on the very first day I started using it.

The BluOS and Eversolo integration is a good start. I'd like to see it added to more things though, maybe popular brands like Innuos, Aurender, Auralic, that sort of thing. Roon integration seems like it would be a great fit as well.
