I'm not sure about your description. I can't find reference to a ViaBlue cable with a stainless (steel?) braided shield. Perhaps it's a silver plated braided shield. If so, you seem to describe a coaxial cable with two braided shields, which won't function properly for an XLR cable application.
For typical home audio applications, a balanced line-level or AES/EBU digital XLR interconnect cable does not require shielding anymore than a single-ended unbalanced RCA interconnect cable does. Pin 1 can be left un-terminated without issue for typical home audio applications. An unshielded twisted pair cable is all that is required, with a recommended 110 ohm characteristic impedance cable for a balanced AES/EBU digital application.
