I'm quite happy with my current setup:
Samsung S3 (usb) -> ODAC -> O2 amp
Great sound!


Can I expect much better from a Colorfly C4?
(Only listening 16bits/44.1KHz)

anyone?

what is an ODAC?, a search shows no product reviews

If you replace that O2 amp with a leckerton uha-6s mkii, you will have an extraordinary rig.

Don't know the  leckerton uha-6s mkii!
Is it good? What you mean with "replace"? Use the ODAC and the leckerton AMP, or use the leckerton AMP and DAC?

It is a wonderful portable amp, extremely clean and transparent. So basically connect your odac to your gs3 with the otg usb and then connect the uha-6s mkii to the odac with a 3.5mm mini to mini interconnect and...

I have experience with both products (I have the Mark I version of the Leckerton). Both are excellent sounding with somewhat different sound signatures. If you use the Leckerton there is no need for a separate DAC, the one in the Leckerton is first rate.
 
For me, going to a single box was the draw for the Colorfly but it does have some drawbacks. Nevertheless that is what I am using. I think you would be very happy with either's sound quality.

Thanks, guess no odac then. What would be the best portable dac I could get to use with a note 2 or gs3? I guess the dac is ok on the leckerton, but I want an upgrade.

There is no need to use a separate DAC. It won't be an improvement and in fact if anything would be detrimental.
The Leckerton uses the well regarded Cirrus CS4398 DAC chip which is used in desktop DACs in the $1000 range and it uses an excellent bipolar power supply.
If you use a separate DAC you are adding the DAC's output buffer and an extra analog cable. More complex signal paths are not preferred.
