Seeking recommendations for DAC to amplifier balanced XLR cable

The amplifier is Musical Fidelity M6si and the new DAC is RME ADI-2 DAC FS, both great devices. At first I connected them with AQ Colorado 1m RCA. I happen to believe, however, that balanced cabling, which is possible between these two devices, has theoretical advantages over single-ended. I ordered Sommer Epilogue XLR cable from Germany, plugged it in yesterday and compared... Unfortunately AQ Colorado beats the newcomer. I have 2 choices: stay with AQ Colorado RCA (since it already plays great) or look for a better XLR cable. Any advice here is welcome!

I have made neotech nemoi 1120 with silver aeco RCA's. They are better than siltech sq 18 and the audioquest angel i have used before. More details and better overal balance. At least 100 hours of burn in. You can make XLR cables yourself with some EIZZ screw type connectors. 

If you want them assembled, you could buy them as harmonic tech recta os at the cable company.
