Help Can I use an AES/EBU cable as analog?

Can I use a Kimber Orchid AES/EBU xlr cable as an interconnect between the analog out of a cd player to an analog in to a preamp? Will it sound OK?

CD is a CD1 Bel Canto, Pre is an Adcom GFP 750 both true balanced.

I did a quick archive search but didn't see a definitive answer.

Thanks!
