Charles, if regular shielded coaxial cables would do the job and there wouldn't be a noise problem(highly likely), then it wouldn't be essential to use XLR cables simply because that option would be available. Nevertheless, if that's what you want, there're quite a few sources that have them at relatively reasonable cost, such as this outfit , and no, you shouldn't be concerned with quality.
