Should I try XLR?


I've never tried XLR cables, just regular ICs with my components. I currently have a Luxman 505UXii integrated with Dynaudio Special 40s. My CDP/streamer is a Marantz ND8006. I'm currently using WyWires ICs with all of my equipment. Would adding XLR cables to the CDP/streamer make a huge difference---if so, should I stick with WyWires XLR or something else? Thanks in advance for your help.

@ryder I own the 590 also and switched to XLR’s to my DAC. The main reason I did so as I have little room between cables behind my equipment and felt the added isolation might help. It did. 
That's like asking if I should scratch.  
Only if it itches. How could we possibly know?
No, not a huge difference.

Why not build your own though? :) You could try pure silver, balanced cables to compare for cheap.

I find XLR balanced cables drop the noise floor a little in my system, and every little bit helps… right? I use WyWires so I’m going to be prejudice there. I bet if you reach out to Alex, he will either treat you well on a trade or maybe he can swap out the plugs at a reasonable cost.
