Maybe it is not in the most friendly language but you can read the graphs and numbers
 
The output impedance is 3.45 which is on par with Note's 3.44

Good objective performance. Not great though.
 
As expected i guess. It matches the impressions of seasoned listeners.
 
Still an audible step below iPhones.

yeah I was expecting more when I heard Samsung was teaming up with the voodoo sound
developer for the sounds, but atleast it is still the best result from Android and it features
the great 'soundalive' I will still prefer Galaxy3 over iphone.

For the 98% of users the SIII audio would be more than adequate. The low volume output is the main issue now but i'm sure that Supercurio will take care of it soon.
 
Anyway i belong to the 2% that spends hundreds of bucks on multidriver iems hence i'll remain on the iPhone boat since music ranks first in my book.

Be a true listener and carry your DAC with you 

GS3 supports DAC output lol

I don't believe in external dacs when the internal one is very good

And an external DAC for a phone seems a bit silly to me....lol.

Yep on the same boat - I have a spare 32 gig iPhone 4 serving as my main portable music player. Don't see that changing in the near conceivable future.

I wonder how it compares to the venerable Galaxy S with wolfson DAC.  Such a shame the US models got shafted of the wolfson
 
does anyone know what DAC iphone5 uses?  hopefully back to wolfson? 

 

[Docks]

I wouldn't worry about DACs at this level, output impedance is key especially when using lower impedance IEMs. The whole DAC talk is grossly overrated.
