Having owned some good DAPs (HM-601, Clip+ and Cowon J3) I believe the iPhone 4 is rather underated.

"Combined with this Android software is a 1.9GHz quad-core processor. Now it's worth clarifying that there are two versions of the Samsung Galaxy S4. For the UK, Europe and the US, we have a Galaxy S4 with the 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor. The rest of the world gets an Exynos 5 octa-core processsor.
We also understand that the two models may well have different DACs, with possibly only the international version having the Wolfson Micro WM5102 chip and the Galaxy S4 released in the UK sporting a more typical Qualcomm DAC. We're looking to confirm this with Samsung and Wolfson, and ultimately bring you a review of the Exynos 5 octa-core model S4. Naturally, the two different Samsung Galaxy S4 phones may deliver different sound quality."

Most tegra2 -devices also have a wolfson dac.
I'm going to buy a (cheap) phone soon and I'll use it as a portable source with my amp. Does anyone have experience with the sq of the older motorolas ie. Atrix?
