Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects?

I currently have 2 sets of Cardas balanced cables. 1 set goes from DAC to Pre, the other goes Pre to amps. I’m considering upgrading the DAC output set to something like Teo Audio , Cerious ,or High Fidelity.

Should the 2 sets be of matching quality or can I expect a significant enough improvement with just 1 upgraded set?

I think you should hear a upgrade by only upgrading one pair of IC. How big of a difference depends on the upgrade cable and where in the chain you do it.

Don't be silly. If that were true, the Internet wouldn't work.

The internet works because the losses in the cables are manageable.

Nowhere in any computer network does a cable add. No one measures cable amplification. They measure signal loss.

Best,
