tosehee,
Why not start with cutting your stock cable and adding some decent XLR connectors? This will give you a big boost over the 1/4" jack when using the Phoenix, and will give you the time to wait and read the reviews of various replacement cables like the Lawton Audio, APureSound V3, and whatever else is released in the meantime.
My stock cable with really cheap Neutrik XLR connectors sounds great. And that was done by my rather paltry soldering skills. Getting a decent pair of connectors and having them soldered onto your cable would be very cheap and totally worthwhile.
