Who makes super quiet XLRs around $1k?


I’m looking to buy a pair of XLR that is super quiet, lowest background noise and ambience for around $1k?
Currently testing a pair of Transparent Ultra Gen5 and it’s very quiet...
Thank you

@akg_ca I thought Nordost was the last brand designed for quietness but as for this hobby, anything is possible .
Thank you @ebm 
I currently have Purist Venustas RCA pair using as reference (to compare with others), and I really like it much.
 Also have Purist Aqueous Aureus RCA and Purist Museus XLR, while they’re  decently good, Venustas keeps them sitting on the sideline. 
Thank you @grannyring . I may look into DIY and your recommendation in the future when I settle down with a good pair for reference and use DIY as trials  and errors 

Hi @tweak1 . Which other brands/models did you compare the WW Eclipse 7 up against?
My last communication with Lan from Transparent and Aaron from Purist yesterday, based on the specific models that we discussed about, they both could not confirm that XLRs are necessarily quieter (less background noise) than RCAs design but it relies (entirely) on front end electronics aka system dependent- so, that sounds to me, for myself, is to try/trial both RCA and XLR in my system.
Note: Transparent Cables now offering 30-day in home trial.
