Me and buddy did a DIY XLR cable, 
 
I accidentally reversed the polarity of the xlr cable, meaning in one of the cable one of the connecters (hot was connect to pin 3 and neutral was connect to pin 2. The ground was connected to pin 1 correctly. I already plugged it in last night to try it out,(not knowing it was reversed and there wasn't any problems and had my dac and amp running through the cables for 8 hours) I didn't know it until today when I double checked it. Just want to know if it does any kind of damages to my equipment? 
 
Thanks

You wont damage anything, it just means the polarity of one driver was reversed.  Same as swapping around the cables on a speaker, it will still work, but just play out of phase.  If you have both reversed you may not even notice, but with one reversed it probably sounds a little odd.

This was actually a pair of XLR interconnect, connecting from my dac to my amp. Everything still should be fine right? haha just a bit worried.
