RCA to XLR adapter, advantages of special boxes ??

Dear All i need to connect my CD player to a DAC converter. Doing this i would need an adapter S/PDIF coaxial RCA(CD)/ XLR(DAC input).
What's the advantage of boxes like the one below ??
Can't believe that such an higher expenditure does not bring any better music result, isn't ??
If the box is useless, could you give me a good adapter cable producer that will make the sound thrilling without pulling my legs ?? (range 50-70 USD for a pair)
Tks

I don't know what claims are made for the box that your link leads to, but if all you need is an adaptor Purist Audio manufactures one that retails for $75.00.

The other option would be a RCA to XLR digital link such as (again) Purist Venustus, retail at $425.00. Probably less that the adaptor boxes you ask about.
