Have you actually tried to listen to both outputs before concluding that they are the same?
I ask this because one of the users who reportedly heard the improvement used adaptors on the XLR output to drive his amp and he heard a drastic improvement in sound. In his words "Tried this last night. Jaw dropping detail[ed] and dynamics."
