Weakest link?


Hi All- I ask this knowing full well it's an opinion-based question. but... I current have an
- Oppo 105 with Audioquest Makenzie Balanced into
- Marantz 8802a with Audioquest Makenzie balanced out to
- Lexicon RX-7 with Audioquest Slip 14/4 to- Revel Ultima Salon 2
My question here is, If I upgraded the cable between the Oppo and Marantz to say Audioquest Earth, is that upgrade going to impact much since I'm not changing anything after it in the chain?  Weakest link theory and all that....curious what other's have experienced through piecemeal upgrades.

I’ve thought about that route but have yet to see any prepros which include HT pass through for dual subs (I have 2 JL Audio f212v2 subs). The JL Audio CR-1 crossover might be a good option to have my oppo feed right into it and let the CR1 do the bass management. I’d be interested in other ideas as well. 
Nice!  Man, I bet the Salons sound awesome with those subs with good 2-channel material.
