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.

@aaronmadler I started a thread similar to yours last year then went on buying a few to experiment it myself. The result was a jaw dropping ... and exciting. Link below.
