The one thing I have to clarify here is the way Apple products are vs Android. I think their IOS and hardwares are different. If you stream musics live (youtube, netflix, websites...etc), all Apple will sounds much better vs Android, and it includes the Z3. But if you have stored files under FLAC. The Z3 def sounds better.
I also found out the Z2 and Z3 uses the same WCD9320, and the Z2 just had a software upgrade which allows it to play High-res musics as well. Now, the remaining differences are Z3 uses 2x TFA9890 vs Z2 with 1 TFA9890. I bet the 2nd TFA9890 somehow was built to support the headphone output. If this is the case, then Sony software are keeping the output down. I am waiting on a "Root" for it then.
