Aurender N20 upsampling with tambaqui

@saurabhgarg Hello!

I have a Tambaqui with the Grimm MU1.  This match allows the Grimm to upsample to the Tambaqui using AES.  It is my understanding that if you use USB, you bypass the streamers upsampling and allow the DAC to do it, if it does.  Using AES output from streamer to DAC bypasses the DAC's upsampling and clock.  How are you connected from your N20 to your Tambaqui?

I was using AES connection. But now I have changed the power cables and things are much better. I have been using NOS. Will try upsampling. Found both these units very sensitive to power cables and conditioner 

I am not a fan of upsampling anything. I prefer having everything to play natively. I have my N20 connected to my Tambaqui via USB to be able to play 352 files and not limited to 192 via AES

Upsampling can be very good, or not good at all, depending on the system and how it handles the process. We can talk theory all day long but ultimately it's best to try out your different options and see what you like. Since you already have the gear anyway, should be a fun experiment. I imagine two listeners could try the same system and come to very different conclusions, there's no wrong answer here.
