How to get balanced inputs working

I have mbl 5011 preamp with a pair of balanced inputs ,when I run dac through it with switch on dac to xlr,which I know is fully balanced , I receive no audio, when I put switch on dac to rca I get. Music don't tell me mbl 5011 has a bogus balance input that's really unbalanced

Is the digital cable RCA or XLR?

And, repeating my earlier question, what is the model number of the DAC?

The audio horizon dac is the modded 3.0n to svt 90% of there $7400 ref dac it's very very musical and very analog sounding , had the Weiss dac here , mbl , sugden and antelope , beats them very easily , the low level detail scary good

Does the digital cable, that is connected between the DAC and the CDP, have RCA connectors or does it have XLR connectors?
