RE: Can I Connect Both XLR And RCA Outputs Simultaneously?

Doing so would eliminate the primary performance advantage of a balanced interface. Which is the rejection of common-mode (ground loop) noise. Such noise is often present in A.C. mains wiring, even if at non-obvious levels. Assuming that the XLR and RCA outputs are not driven by independant active line driver stages, you do not want to connect the two interface types at the same time.
