[QUOTE="cranky, post: 1797169, member: 9160"] The S3 (and a few other droids) will allow you to use some USB DAC's with an OTG cable. Look at the linked posts here: [url=http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/1785#post_9215106]Android phones and USB DACs[/url] Note that rooted droids don't yet support USB audio at a kernel level. Natively, Apple still has the edge but the S3/Ativ S and some of the older Sony Ericsson models have the best RMAA performance among droids. Spend some time on GSMarena, those guys test phones for audio quality using RMAA and a little bit of subjective comments. If you are to believe them, stay away from the HTC/Beats set of phones if you value accuracy. I use a SE Xperia Mini Pro and though I don't care for cans at all, the line out is OK for very casual listening. I can say it's very easy to beat using even a basic DAC. [/QUOTE]
