XLR to RCA Adapters


I am interested in a BAT amp but my Rogue 99 Magnum does not have balanced outputs. There are of course adapters (Cardas makes what appears to be a nice one), are these worth it or do they defeat the purpose of a balanced unit? Do they compromise sound quality?

I apologize for hijacking the thread, but I have a question:
What if the scenario was just an opposite- balanced preamp and single-ended power amp?
Would the Jensen type converter still be the best solution?
I understand, that if I used simple XLR/RCA adapter, then I would only use "half" of the balanced preamp circuitry?
