Unless the equipment is actually true balanced differential there is no reason to use XLR’s . As an example I have a Mark Levinson no.585.5 amp that is balanced. But my DAC is a Chord Dave. Even though my Dave has XLR outputs it’s not balanced (per Rob Watts) so using XLR’s is pointless. BTW I use Audience FrontRow Reserve interconnects
