Is it save to convert XLR to RCA?


Dear Audio Gurus,

I have a Harman Kardon HD990 player, which has two outputs: RCA and XLR. I'd like to use them both. However, my amps and pre-amps all take RCA. I know of XLR-to-RCA cables. But the HD990 specs mention that RCS is a 2V output whereas XLR is 4V. Am I going to damage my amps and pre-amps by trying this?

Thanks,
Walfredo

Hey there Grannyring.... sorry if I missed it in your previous posts but how did you end up eliminating the hum?
I've had a few high end CD players where, when I used both the RCA and XLR outputs, there was a subtle (or bigger) degradation of the sound; don't know why. Anyone else experience this?
The buzz was an issue in my amp which is balanced and my Dude preamp is single ended. I purchased a Jensen input transformer and placed it between my pre and amp. Dead quiet now.

Lissnr. Great!!! You will love the Dude. My Dude is just like yours.
