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?

All cables work on the principle of subtraction. They all take something away, leaving the rest apparently more enhanced.

The real question is, do you want to change anything? If so, your room is always where you should start. Cables should come last.

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.
