F-XLR to M-RCA recommendations

For equipment with XLR out going to RCA ins, are there any "audiophile" grade cables you can recommend. I checked a few of well-regarded suppliers (BJC, Anti, etc.) with no luck. Of course, Amazon has a ton of $12 - $20 cables - they're not striking me as hi-fi grade to complement my system.

Fwiw, I'm considering the new microDac from Laiv and this'd be the first piece of equipment, that has only XLR outputs, that I would be purchasing.

For cost, would like to keep it under $250-ish.

I love how gauging the efficacy of the cables on Amazon came down to them costing too little.  Because yes, you guarantee yourself a much better product and experience just by finding something that costs more.  

Anyway, a DAC with only balanced outputs should be connected to balanced inputs.  If nothing has been purchased yet, I wouldn't be looking at adapters, I would be looking at different gear.
