Should never convert digital transmission XLR TO RCA or RCA to XLR.
The digital cable is high speed transmission and has shield connection on both ends designed to help build RF/EMI.
You can however use this application in a analog stage,because a properly design analog is only shielded at one end to ground were the other end is open and wrapped around the conductors.
Providing to you pay attention to the direction arrow on the cable and make your conversion at that end of the cable.
Hope this help clear some thoughts about this type of conversion.
Enjoy music!
