XLR cable splitter?

I will have both a A/V pre-amp (McIntosh MX 135) and headphone amp (Donald North Audio Stratus) that has XLR balanced inputs whose signals will come from a Yiggy DAC which has only one balanced output but 2 unbalanced outputs.  

I prefer balanced but would require a XLR spitter so both the Mac and HP amp get balanced signals.  First, am I better off with just using the unbalanced RCA output on the Yiggy for one of them as there would be signal degradation using a splitter?  If not, which spitter would you recommend?

@Maxwave, to illustrate the difference between "posts" and "threads":

What we are participating in now is one thread, titled "XLR Cable Splitter." As of now this one thread has a total of seven posts, including this post and the OP’s post which started the thread.  (The post count shown by Audiogon's software does not include the initial post in a thread, so it indicates six posts for this thread as of now, rather than seven). 

@Ymc226, glad I was helpful.

Best regards,
-- Al

If your are still looking for a splitter cable, these are the best I have seen:

if you you call him, he might be willing to build “statement” or “signature” level splitter cables.  Obviously they would be more money.
