For people that already have them, how does the headphone out compare to the likes of the iPhone, iPod Touch, DAPs, other phones etc?

Can anyone comment on how loud the minimum volume is?, I know the max volume is loud, which is great on public transport and such but I often listen to music at home and in quiet environments where I find the lowest volume setting more than sufficient, how does the minimum volume compare to the likes of other phones you have?
elfary,
No, this is a non-jailbroken EU 5S, so for those in other markets my point may well be moot - but for EU buyers who don't jailbreak / root - might be an interesting point
Tonally, provisionally - I would like to say that the M8 is warm, lush, slightly darker sounding than either the Note 3, and - for that matter the CEntrance M8 (I noticed the irony that if using USBAPP, I will be going One M8 to CEntrance M8 - now just need to find some "M8" 'phones!!)
M8 to M8 to V-Moda M-80s, of course.
I just ordered my HTC M8 through AT&T today too, cant wait for it to arrive! The sad thing is it won't arrive until late next week, so I'll have some waiting to do..
Duncan, from what you said (and as I never have had an iPhone, just an iTouch 3rd gen), is the M8 good enough to be used as a portable player without connecting a DAC to it in your opinion? Or would you still suggest a standalone player like the iPods or other DAPs (big difference)? My JH16 is arriving in a week too, don't know if I should upgrade my source player or not..
How is it from simply a phone standpoint? Was thinking of getting one later this year, but the non-removable battery is keeping me away.
So in this case, are they talking about the sound quality of the HTC M8 regardless of what software is used (performance of hardware), or are they just talking about the sound quality without any extra software implementations?
