The Rotel RSP 1582 has XLR inputs and outputs but it's not really balanced unless you have very "noisy" environment I really don't think the XLR cable will make any difference.
XLR interconnects
I read that XLR interconnects can maintain the signal over longer distances therefore it is ideal to use an XLR interconnect over rca unbalanced cables. Why then do you see cable manufacture companies produce 0.5 m, 1m, 2m, 3m interconnects for audio gear? What is difference over a 1m, 2m, 3m rca unbalanced cable? Is there any sound differences?
