I made my own cable using Neutrik XX connectors with Deltron GAC2 digital AES/EBU specified cable from Element14. I use the same cable for the (fully) balanced analogue connections between DAC/Pre (NAD M51) and Power amp. One thing to be aware of when using balanced connections; Not all equipment correctly separates chassis ground from signal ground. Consequently, you can introduce ground loops if your cable is (preferably/correctly) wired such that shield is connected at BOTH ends to chassis ground. In this situation, you must lift the shield at one end - which you would do if you needed to go from unbalanced to balanced using twin core shielded cable - in this situation you lift shield ground at the source (unbalanced) end. See the application note for good information on this.
Balanced connections work great if all the equipment is properly designed with correct chassis and signal ground separated. Otherwise, they can be a nuisance!!
