I have a hard time figuring out why would anybody want any standalone portable MP3 player a instead of a used iPhone 4S (one of the best portable audio output ever made and iOS has a gazillion times better UI and app support) or cheap Android when the prices are already so low.

Why do you say it's US phones specifically?

My S8 sounds great, as does my Moto X Play.

I think you're just full of poo poo.

I actually did blind testing with a friend on the 3.5mm output between Exynos Note 9 and a Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus with my KZ-KST IEMs. The Note 9 RMAA scores on GSMArena were so much more superior that I was confident I can tell them apart easily, yet I only managed to identify the devices correctly only 2 times in 4 trials.

Not exactly scientifically rigorous but yet this still a zillion times more honest than sighted full-of-poo poo listening "reviews".
