I knew many people would not like the cable. A great alternative would have been a expansion port that could plug into a port internally on the sound card, even the X-Fi expansion port. Something similar to the Auzentech X-Tension DIN would have been a great addition. The disadvantage of this would be the sound card requiring two expansion bays in the rear of the case and an increased cost to the MSRP.
As I stated if I had to choose I'd go with the cable, but having both options would have been ideal for everyone.
