For the direct chain, it is the WORST bit in the chain which limits the rest.. so ?? op

I mean yeah one can add some part that gives one an 'Ahhah!' moment, but it actually may be some other part which is the gem.
The part changed may just have been the bottleneck hold all the rest back.
And, the new part may be better, but not as good as some other parts are..

For example, my Sony SCD777ES SACD player with Redbook was only as good as my DAC, with the Sony output to the DAC. Until my last fix up bits, which allowed the Sony to show it is in fact a little better than my DAC.

No way can I say one part allowed that. It was a LOT of stuff upgraded before that was hearable. Everything from crystals, to antistatic foam, power cables, (Even using a noncontact A/C checker and wrapping and grounding the VAC standard power umbilical..) just changing the output A/Cfrequency for the digital stuff to 110hz instead of 60hz(using the PS Audio P600 with the upgrade chip) The pigtail tweak on negative speaker terminals..
And having a good really clear neutral amp, Bryston 4B-SST2
