XLR or RCA for Aesthetix Janus pre to Rogue M-180 amps Any Benifits opinions please

i just purchased an aesthetix janus preamp. i currently have rogue m-180 mono amps and a copland cta-305 preamp. would i hear any improvements going with xlr over rca between the 2. all other source components are rca with no provision for xlr. those are vpi scoutmaster II, magnum dynalab md-201t with upgrades, mccormack cd transport and dac. speakers are legacy signature se.
thanks in advance

I thought I read that the Rogue isn't true balanced as they use an opamp.  I could be very wrong but I would call Rogue and ask them.

i think i may learn something new. i have never dealt with xlr before. rogues website say true balanced xlr inputs. according to the stereophile review of these they are transformer coupled balanced. not a 100% sure what that means

That means they are true balanced, not an opamp  bandaid.  Try it out you may like it.
