The problem is that nearly every non-international smartphone but the iPhone uses the Snapdragon S4 -- including the U.S. version of the Galaxy S3 -- because the Tegra 3 is said not to work well with LTE networks. Now that LTE is about to achieve world domination, I'd guess that rooting, an OTG cable and a portable self-powered DAC are going to become mandatory for sound-conscious Android users until a better-sounding chip's available.
The same goes for Nokia 920 and 820 owners: The specs on Nokia's site list the S4 for both models.
You guys shouldn't care for wp8 devices. All of them will use the infamous (for audiophiles) s4 chip which is atrocious compared to the iphone and galaxy s3 w/wolfson.
