Is AES/EBU the same as XLR?

I was curious to know if I can use the same analog XLR cables that I currently use between my cd player and preamp for the connection between my digital AES/EBU output on my cd player to my DAC.

Are they the same cable? If not, what is the difference? The connections look identical to me.

Thank you.

I believe the answer is whatever you want it to be, and whatever sounds good to you.

The Virtual Dynamics digital AES/EBU was simply one of their balanced cables, and they worked fine.

The Stealth Varidig Sextet is definitely not an Indra.
