Phono Stage with XLR outs

Taking another stab at vinyl after about a year break. Not going too fancy but would like a phono stage with both RCA and XLR outputs. My amp, Boulder 866, only accepts XLR. I do have a set of Cardas adapters but thinking to do it right. 
Budget - under $1500 used or new. 
Table - Clearaudio Concept with Hana ML moving coil cartridge. 
Not trying to compete with my Meitner MA3i digital front end. Just looking for good natural presentation. 
Contenders - Pro-Ject DS3 B, Black Ice Audio Fusion, McIntosh MP100

Any other candidates that I should consider?

Thanks all! I’ll look into the suggestions minus the Schiit mani  

Had Schiit Mani a while ago. Not great. It was a noisy piece of schiit. 
From there I went to MoFi UltraPhono, then Sutherland KC Vibe Mk2, then Sutherland 20/20 Mk2 LPS. Then I sold it all. 

I have a Sutherland KC Vibe Mk2 on loan now but I need to find a permanent solution. 
Tempted to try a tube phono that’s why I included pro-ject and black ice audio fusion.

Everyone raves about the Mod Wright.

Moonriver 505. They're a relatively new company but get good reviews. Everything is front panel switchable.
