* Steep filter disabled
* iRadio/Streaming Services are output as 16-bit data at the appropriate sample 

rate for the decompressed data. The sample rate will be 32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz 

depending on the streams sample rate.
Incoming streams of less than 32kHz sample rate cannot be output over S/P DIF 

/Toslink.
For compressed streams the true resolution of the audio is of course limited by 

the encoding. 
For Media content from local drives or UPnP this outputs in its native resolution of 

16/24-bit, 32kHz 44.1kHz 48kHz or 96kHz with bit for bit transfer.

If you experience any trouble with your Stream Magic 6, then you may find it useful 

to visit the help section on our webpage at 

http://support.cambridgeaudio.com/

.

If you have trouble with the Stream Magic service then you may also find it useful

General Help guidelines:
If you have trouble connecting the Stream Magic 6 to your network, these steps 

may help to resolve the problem:
•  Confirm that a connected computer can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the 

web) using the same network.

•  Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP 

address on the Stream Magic 6. You can configure a static IP address on the 

Stream Magic 6 using the menu item ‘Settings -> Network Config -> Edit Config’, 

and then select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’. DHCP is however the recommended 

method.

•  Check  that  your  network’s  firewall  is  not  blocking  any  outgoing  ports.  As  a 

minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 5 54, 1755, 5000, 

6000 and 7070.

•  Check  your  access  point  does  not  restrict  connections  to  a  particular  MAC 

addresses. You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu item ‘Settings 

-> Network Config -> View Config -> MAC address’.

•  If you have an encrypted Wi-Fi network, check that you have entered the correct 

key or passphrase into the Stream Magic 6. Remember that text-format keys 

are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, 

your Stream Magic 6 displays: ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, 

then please ensure that you enter the correct passphrase for the network. If 

the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.

If your Stream Magic 6 can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to 

play particular Stream Magic stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:
•  The  station  is  not  broadcasting  at  this  time  of  the  day  (remember  it  may  be 

located in a different time zone).

•  The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.
• The station is not broadcasting anymore.
• The link in our database is simply out of date.
•  The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) 

and you is slow.

• Try using a computer to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site.
If you can play back the station with a computer, you can use the form at www.

stream-magic.com to notify us so that we can investigate.
If you have problems with UPnP playback always check the following:
•  Ensure your chosen UPnP server software is capable of serving the file type you 

are trying to access. Some servers do not serve FLAC for instance.

•  The Stream Magic 6 can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls 

cannot be played by the Stream Magic 6. Some servers may be able to authorise 

and de-crypt Microsoft Playsforsure before then serving the content to the 

Stream Magic 6 but this operation is not guaranteed as it is purely a function 

of the server.

•  If attempting to play 24-bit WAV or FLAC content note a wired Ethernet connection 

is normally required for reliable operation due to bandwidth considerations.

•  Check the Stream Magic 6 is capable of playing back the file type you are trying 

to access. WMA, AAC, MP3, Vorbis, FLAC and WAV can currently be played. The 

Stream Magic 6 does not support ALAC, WMA Pro, WMA lossless, RAW, AU or 

other file types not mentioned.

If you have problems with USB Media playback  always check the following:
•  Check the Stream Magic 6 is capable of playing back the file type you are trying 

to access. WMA, AAC, MP3, Vorbis, FLAC and WAV can currently be played.

•  The Stream Magic 6 does not support ALAC, WMA Pro, WMA lossless, RAW, AU or 

other file types not mentioned.

•  For USB Media the Stream Magic 6 can only play non DRM files. Files that have 

DRM controls cannot be played. 

•  Check that your device does not require more than 1A if it is powered from the 

USB socket itself.

• Check your device is formatted in FAT32 format.
•  The way you organise your USB media affects the size of internal database the 

Stream Magic 6 needs to build dynamically as you browse content. Good practice 

is to create folders for Artists within which you should have a sub folders for each 

Album which then containing the tracks for that Album. Libraries with thousands 

of tracks in one folder will progressively slow down the Stream Magic 6s media 

browsing.

For all servicing, in or out of warranty, please contact your dealer.
