If MR were a music-inclusive site, I'd have posted this as soon as I read about it: Samsung just struck a deal with Wolfson!

Also, the Note 3 is going to be 24-bit and 192k-capable -- at least in Korea (we'll see whether those specs make to the UK or Stateside):

The LG G2 looks like an excellent option for 24-bit audio:

We probably won't see the MX-3 stateside, but look at the specs, and notice that it ships with 128 GB internal memory. Meizu made decent mp3 players long before it switched to smartphones:

And when you're conducting your research, be sure to peruse this thread. Every five pages, a member named Dan Ba updates the compatibility list for as many Android phones and DACs as Head-fi members can test:
