PS. "Using headphones" looks to be a typo.

If I used headphones I can't use that connection to the car or home stereo. Which is why I looked for the other solution which removes any need for testing DACs.

In my opinion....

....it's not as much the phone itself as the sound system you are connecting it to.

I am using the Dell Aero for a long time which is an android phone. It has really a good sound quality and can be connected easily anywhere. Could be a great option to the audiophiles.
