Male to male XLR question

I'll be using my very first XLR cable and am confused by them all seemingly being male to female.
Im connecting my Jolida 6802 integrated to a soon to be here Musical Paradise DAC.

Do I DIY a male to male cable or do I purchase female to male adapter?

Thank you

The amp uses a Male connector the DAC uses female.

Glad I asked! 
Lol
They look the same to me. 
You're sure about that?
Thank you.

OP:

That’s the convention. The pins point to the destination, so outputs use male, inputs use female. Makes stringing large numbers of cables together a lot simpler in a professional environment where you have mic and amp runs.
