The counter argument is that by using the analogue cable from the drive to
the sound card you add an extra D->A and A->D conversion. Furthermore the
D->A on most PC (or Mac) CD drives isn't of the highest quality and you
are moving the signal in analogue form in an extremely hostile environment
via what isn't generally be best-shielded cable in the business.
