No, do not use a Y connector; it will compromise sound quality.
I had SignalCable make up a set of their Silver Resolution interconnects XLR to RCA with pin3 float. It works beautifully. It's said that DAC1 xlr output is superior to rca output.
While you're at it, pop the top and move the output level jumpers to the " o db." position. Much higher output level but much better sound. These two tweaks disprove the belief that the DAC1 is "hard" sounding.
Good listening!
