I was wondering whether one can upgrade the pre-installed RAM modules in an Acer E5-574G-52QU with a better one, i.e. can one replace the DDR3L 1600MHz module with something better like a 2133MHz having better latency timings?

I dont think it supports.. anyway. dont do it.. you wont see any improvements at all

Why so? A faster RAM having lower latency should have better performance theoretically. 

you wont gain anything with games at all and, I dont even think that laptops supports any ram that is faster than 1600MHz.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that Ddr3l doesn't have fsb higher than 1600MHz. Also i couldn't find any at Amazon :D

Anyways one more thing, I read somewhere that CL9 and CL11 doesn't have too much difference in performance with the latest processors and memory controllers; is this true?

yeah, the only use case for really fast ram is video and picture editing and BF 4 where you can gain 4-8 fps
