Someone post this over at Head-Fi. I am sure they could point out the advantages...

You know the people who buy these will have the cheapest no-name PSU to go with it!!!!!

How would PSU relate to SATA cables?

I think the point was that anyone silly enough to buy this would probably not realise that other components have a more significant impact on system performance.

A few options exist

1) Install a separate sound card and bypass the onboard chip
2) As 1 but a card that has a digital output and also add a separate DAC
3) As 1 or 2 but use a USB card so you dont have to open the box

1/2 are the most reliable solutions as USB can be a bit flaky with sound devices

Specifics depend on your budget and how much faffing around you want to do with
your PC internals..
