The AES48 stadnard is what you should look up. Atmasphere has stated a few times on this forum that many manufacturers do not implement this spec properly. That is a main reason why various cables sound different and also why XLR and RCA also do not have much difference on those units.
My gear does support the AES48 standard and using anything but XLR is a waste of my money. Actually on my Benchmark gear I have to use XLR on the amp.
I run long XLR cables between my preamp and DAC and have the benefit of moving the rack far away from the speakers. I would not try that with RCA cables.
