Galaxy S3 phone and external DAC

I want to find something like the Dragonfly DAC, or something similar, to work with my Android based Galaxy S3 phone. I would like to play the music stored on the phone into my main system but with better sound than what comes out of its mini jack. All files are stored either WAV or MP3,

Audioquest confirmed that the Dragonfly will not work on an Android operating system. Someone pointed me here but I don't have any clue about the sound quality (is it really any better than the analogue out mini jack on the phone?) Seems too good to be true for such low cost - HIFIMEDIY SABRE.

Then there's this on Amazon - DiiO E18 Kunlun?

The Graham Slee Bitzie DAC works with the Galaxy S3 - the sound quality is excellent and I recommend it highly

You need a cable that is micro USB (out from S3) to USB 'B' type (into Bitzie DAC). The Bitzie has a phono 'Y' output adaptor included in the packaging so you can connect to a main system via phono interconnects

In several countries there is a loan scheme to borrow the Bitzie before purchase (UK, Europe, USA, Australia etc)

It also acts as very high quality USB DAC between a computer (PC or MAC) and main system. There is a high quality USB 'B' - 'A' cable for this purpose which can be ordered as a standard option
