your damn right! My xba3 sounds like TRASH on my walkman F887 and iPod video but excellent on my filo x3 and ibasso dx90
They sound good on an iPod Touch 5G (less than 1 Ohm output impedance) and terrible on my Samsung GS3 (gone due to upgrade). I picked up a FiiO E12 portable amp for when on the road, which helped plenty. Then I got an E18 which has a far better DAC and amp than the phone which really did make the XBA-3 shine. Excluding the phone's DAC, the H3 did rather nicely.
