Newer Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu 10.04) support USB Audio 2.0 for which the Stream Magic 6 should be switched to USB Audio 2.0 to accept audio up to 24-bit/192kHz.

If you make a mistake, press to go back one character.
Balance control Use this option to download new firmware for the Stream Magic 6 from Cambridge Audio over the Internet.

As a default this is set to 15 minutes, but you can increase or decrease this time, or turn this feature off altogether if desired.
