Because chains are played in reverse, if you could cast your impact after Direct Dynamic, then yes, your would activate first.

The problem with this is that you'd need an Impact that is a Counter, so you could cast it in response to Direct Dynamic. But since Direct Dyanmic is a Counter itself, the opponent really only needs to wait for you to cast an Impact, respond to it, and make you a sad boi.
