Dartzeel CTH-8550. RCA vs Xlr

Any CTH-8550 owners out there that have compared rca input connections vs the xlr input? My sacd player is indifferent so I am really only asking about the Dart. Many thanks for any user comments.

It would be tough to do a good comparison since I would need to have the single-ended MIT Oracle MA REV2; I don't have any extra pairs laying around. :-) Although Jonathan prolly has made the comparison with his cables, I doubt the difference is huge with excellent ICs. Btw, the xlr inputs are truly balanced, unlike the dartzeel pre.
