You raise a point we are all all-too-familiar with. That is, when upgrading one component of your signal chain, to what extent are other components limiting the potential performance. Furthermore, when is it worth upgrading another component to realize the full potential of another. Weakest link to weakest link.

It is an exercise in infinite regress.
