Using two outboard transformers will affect sonics in some manner. These extra devices will not provide the transparency of a direct cable run. It would also entail using extra cables and consideration of impedance values.
I have used a Jensen transformer successfully, but there was a slight change in sonics. A low impedance cable must be used at the input to a transformer.
If your DAC has a preamp section you could go balanced directly to the amp.
