XLR to RCA adaptors

I have xlr interconnects and really do not want to sell them to purchase rca. Will using adaptors hurt the sound quality? My CD player has xlr and the amp I am buying does not. Thanks in advance.

I have been referred to DIYcables and they show how to make an interconnect rather than using an adapter, so you dould customize a cable for your needs and avoid 2 unnecessary connections.
