XLR connection between Accuphase and Denafrips


I am connecting my Denafrips Venus II to an Accuphase integrated amplifier E-380 via XLR connection.  Denafrips spec states XLR pin 2 is hot (+) whilst Accuphase XLR pin 2 is Inv (-).  Does this mean i need to select the phase button in either the Denafrips/Accuphase to align the +/- directionality between the two?  I already tried combination of phase on/off amongst the two, and hardly could hear any difference.  Do i need to care about aligning the +/- for the XLR connection  between both or whichever alignment would do just fine and will not damage any equipment in my system for long term use?

Thanks all, that’s what i need to know, any configuration won’t damage my system.  I’ve been testing over and over and i swear they all sound the same

Fortunately both Denafrips and Accuphase have button for phase setting to reverse this +/- soni don’t have to mess with the speaker cables.
