Looking for a preamp with XLR connections

Several others already answered your question

A. Don't trust anything ASR reports

B. Ditto

C. Ditto

Now, just because a pre has both XLR I/Os doesn't necessarily mean it is true/differentially balanced, though it should. If you are patient, people post their Audio Alchemy DDP- 1 which is both a pre and a dac. Mega write up in Absolute Sound back in March 2016. You also want the matching PS 5, outboard power supply. MSRP was ~ $2800, but often for sales ~ $1500. I've had one for about 3 years now. Every change I make to the rest of my system comes through. I saw a streamer + PS 5 FS not long ago

HTH
