    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    the LG G2 was the first phone w/ 24 bit 192Khz audio playback. There are only 3 cells that have this including the new LG G3..which is the main reason I got it. I think the HTC m8 and the nokia Lumia sound great for external speakers, but for headphones I decided on the G3 because I'm not going...
