I have a similar all in one (an RME ADI-2 DAC FS), and the XLR outputs are great to drive monitors, which are typically amplified. Even better this leaves the RCA output free, and you can use that to output to a sub for fuller sound given most desktop monitors have relatively small woofers. For example, I have focal solo6 monitors, which have big cabinets and barely fit on my desk, but only have 6.5" woofers. Adding a subwoofer made this setup nearly perfect! Having an all in one with XLR+RCA outputs is awesome!
