XLR adaptor advice

I’m considering an offer on a set of Stealth Sakra interconnects at a very attractive price.  Unfortunately they are single ended and my preamp (D’Agostino Momentum) only accepts XLR.  I’m thinking about using Neutrik RCA to XLR adaptors for connection to the preamp.

i have a couple places I could put these cables in my system:

From a dCS DeBussy DAC to the preamp XLR in
From the preamp XLR out to a pair of Krell Evo 600 mono amps

Whichever position from above is left open would be filled by Stealth Indra V7, XLR.

Any advice/comment on using XLR/RCA adaptors? 
 I read most of the other threads already here on the subject and learned a great deal, but thought I’d narrow the question down to a specific cable/use...

thanks,

Mitch

Don’t do it. Dan would be horrified. Great balanced cables can be had here for 50%+ off. You would always be questioning yourself.
Just take a look at AQ Wild Blue Yonder and Wm Low Signature as an example. Being blown out in anticipation of new models coming out. The obvious point is that you can purchase AQ’s best silver cables at huge discounts. I strongly doubt that after 40 years a cable breakthrough will occur. This is just one example of many. FWIW
