Both XLR out, worth a look I think.

Not sure this will interest you but it is in the same price bracket as the Schiit.

It's not obvious but it does have balanced out via a 4.4mm jack. iFi sell a cable with the 4.4mm at one end and a standard XLR at the other. It's a cracking DAC and mine is nearly new.

I recommend the older higher range Audio Gd DACs with the WM chips, they had balanced outs and can be found for 2-300 but there aren't many around. I have 2 of that type but only one is balanced. It's not going anywhere.
