I was recommended this as a cheap balanced passive preamp a while back:

I’d just get a reasonably well made passive pre, but it’s not ideal to have anything in the chain, but this would likely give you the best flexibility. This being said, I’d rather suggest you put the preamp on the neve instead, so get a balanced passive pre, something like this https://www.amazon.com/Palmer-MONICON-Passive-Controller-PMONICON/dp/B00GIF8GBG/ref=sr_1_1 It will degrade the sound a bit, but it’s better that degradation happens on the neve than the quicksilver imo

It didn’t end up being what I needed, so I never ended up buying it and so I can’t vouch for it myself, but thought I’d mention it.
