ADCOM GFP-750 question

Want to try a passive preamp, but need XLR output. Seems like GFP-750 is the one. The question is, when in passive mode, will XLR input/output still work in true balanced mode? If yes, does that mean the preamp only bypass the gain stage but has some buffer circuit still be active?
Any other models that I shall take a look at(passive with balance in/out; ps: I don't like ones with transformers) ?
Thanks for your post.

I believe it will work in true balanced mode. But having owned one, I liked the active mode the best. It had more life and dynamics. Things seemed to move faster. The passive mode did have a purer sound quality though. But I thought for my listening needs the active mode sounded the best overall. Rest assured. This is a great preamp!
