Sorry, double post!
@ DanBa: Neat looking device!! I'm guessing it's a rebadged Go-DAP X with a pretty hefty price increase. I like the interlocking case though. (Btw, Musica Acoustics has an open-box of the red model for $295 atm if anybody's interested -- link).
A list of stock Android-powered devices reportedly interworking with standard USB DAC:

Hi Piratair,
Firstly Im not sure the Razr can handle a DAC, the s3 can because samsung put in some extra work to make it USB/DAC compliant, it is not a standard feature of googles android at the present, also I have a E17 and it is a problematic USB/DAC even with a samsung s3 (It doesn't work unless you use USB recorder pro).
According to AnakChan who has some contact with the VentureCraft people, "there are internal differences.
A mentionable one is the V-Moda Vamp Verza headphone output is almost double of the VentureCraft Go-DAP X".
..............
I had the same reasoning...........
I think the current USB enumeration software should be improved.
The Samsung-implemented USB enumeration is perfectible.
It is not enough tolerant than the one implemented in the USB Audio Recorder PRO app.
The USB Audio Recorder PRO app uses a functional Android USB host driver.
The USB host feature is not enabled on LG / Google Nexus 4; a Nexus 4 using USB Audio Recorder PRO can’t work with USB DAC.
The incomplete USB host function of the Samsung Galaxy S2 can’t transfer isochronous USB data to USB DAC; the Galaxy S2 using USB Audio Recorder PRO can’t work with USB DAC.

@ Fuzzy1969: Awesome, man!! That means it's highly likely it will work with my US version S3. Any comment on the sound? (Mine will probably take a bit longer to arrive... damn oceans).
