Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects
From your experience, would you expect a higher quality single ended interconnect or an entry level balanced interconnect to sound better when connecting two balanced components?
More specifically, I will be connecting a Denafrips Ares ii to a Pathos Classic One Mkiii and I currently have Audioquest Sydney RCA interconnects. Is it worth getting some cheap Monoprice XLR cables or should I just wait until I can justify purchasing something from Audioquest (probably Red River or Belden BAV) in the future.

I’d recommend the “World’s Best Cables” as a solid trial for xlr’s using quality mogami or canare cabling. They’re also very well terminated, most with neutrik connectors. Was a bit skeptical until I purchased a set and saw how well they’re made. Roughly $40 on Amazon and we’ll worth it. They sound VERY good, balanced, detailed. They claim a long burn in and I’m inclined to believe it as they have “opened” over time.
