A couple of question...

I just hooked up my Bel Canto S300 amp to my Benchmark DAC using RCA inter-connects. Good one's I think, Eichmann w/ Cardas. What, if anything, would I gain by using a balanced xlr inter-connect?
Also,I use the Wadia 170i as my main source of playback and find this combo to sound a bit crisp, like a Feb. morning on the streets of NYC. Freezing, yes but great just the same.A bit bright. Sharp. Would a tube pre-amp take some of the bite out of this set-up or is it just me?

M1sst1, thank you for the detailed explanations.
My speakers are Sonus Faber Concertos, certainly light in the low-end with a smooth mid-range and well defined highs.
I would imagine a tube pre-amp might lessen the razor sharp sound of the Benchmark.
