XLR balanced is only a benefit for cables many feet long. That's why it is used for pro installations. At the typical home length of a meter or two no benefit.

Well at quick glance the Bryston is a music streamer (files & services) and no DAC.  and the AR Eclipse is a transport/DAC combo.  

The main benefit to balanced interconnects is to mitigate / reject noise picked up from the environment. There are lots of good articles going into detail if you do a web search.
