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.

@esthlos13  A BIG +1 for David above.  He is exactly right.  A moderate change in a balanced interconnect pales in comparison to the complete system upgrade the Omega E Mats and Total Contact contact enhancer will give you.

Also, If you put a couple E Mats on the inside of your electrical service door, the performance of all your electric devices will benefit.  Can't believe how great UHD video can look!
