So still its the iphone that really cares for quality in the first place. Though it hurts to find not any alternative.

For Serotonin: Were you able to test the USB OTG cable yet with the Lumia 920?
I actually got mine today. One thing that bothers me is that the only lossless I can play is WMA which is fine I guess. Flac & Wav lossless doesn't work, wont show up in the player.
It does not really get too loud without an AMP which is sort of expected I guess...then again, I did expect more from Nokia, sound is clean though, no distortion very clear bass even with E7 pumped up all the way to max volume + phone to max volume.
Without an amp, meh ... with amp ... not bad at all. Clean sound, good bass reproduction. Unlike with other devices, when you cap out the phone & amp on sound, you get distortion due to double amp, you do not get that with the 920.
It kind of sounds like Ipod > lod > amp.
Trying to find a better player for wp8 though, stock players are never really all that.
Did find some players, but they are really focused on streaming from cloud / computer with cache so you can listen to your music even when you are not around a signal.
EDIT: I am going to see how this does with E11 once I charge it up, E7 is usually more rounded, also will dig up my OTG cable & see if E7 will work with USB OTG cable & Lumia 920.
Here's a tear down in (I believe) Polish: http://www.windowsmania.pl/dyskusja-ogolna-232/troche-wnetrznosci-czyli-lumia-po-otwarciu-843/
Can someone translate?
Lossless on a portable is a waste. You won't hear any difference in SQ, and it's just a space hog.
Oh, BTW, there's also another phone worth considering. The HTC One X+ is EXCELLENT!!! And you don't need to use the BEATS Audio crap either,...64GB of SMEXYNESS!!!
Lossless on mobile isn't necessarily a waste, from my Note 2 via USB audio into my RSA Intruder then W3000ANV/T5p its as worthwhile doing lossless as it is from my desktop. Depends on your use.
For the normal listener via hp out it's useless. Paired with a desktop rig is another matter altogether. I'm speaking of portable, not DOCKED, application.
You don't appear to have read my post that carefully.
First, I did say "depends on your use", so that covers the 'normal listeners' you're talking about. Second, mine is not a docked solution, is perfectly portable.
I only commented to illustrate that your blanket statement about lossless and portable use is not completely true.
