Looking to say in the relative price range.  Not sue they are an improvement.  Appreciate any experience and/or comparison with  the above.

I'm assuming the ARC & Pass are both fully balanced circuits.

If you live in the middle of Manhattan with 100 different wifi networks within a stones throw of your audio system, XLR should definitely be both quieter noise-wise and louder signal-wise.  Win-win

If your system is in the middle of your 40 acre spread in South Dakota, you'll still get the signal boost, but any further gains are less likely.
