So far, like the quad-core Exynos powered Galaxy S III, the new quad-core Exynos powered Samsung Galaxy Note II can work with the iBasso D12 and the ODAC, and has some issue with the HeadAmp Pico.
 
So, in regard to standard USB audio, the behaviour of the Galaxy Note II is likely identical to the behaviour of the Galaxy SIII.

Apparently "Galaxy S III + (some) USB DAC" and "(some) computer + (some) USB DAC" have at least the same sound quality:

"How about the SQ of the S3 + NuForce Icon HDP? What headphones do you use?"

"It's quite good. Slightly, not very noticeable, better than it was connected to my computer.
So if you wanna know more about this, you can just simply refer to those review of HDP.
P.S. I am using HD600 & UM1 for testing"

"For anyone interested, the D12 USB DAC works when connected to a Galaxy S3. It sounds the same to me as it does when connected to a computer."

A custom Nexus 7 interworks with a standard USB DAC FiiO E10 (that doesn’t work with stock Samsung Galaxy S III for the time being):

custom Nexus 7 > digital audio stream >> USB DAC/amp FiiO E10 >> Sennheiser HD-380

"Code:
pcm.usbdac {

ctl.usbdac {

}
pcm.!default usbdac

Back up your asound.conf and add this (or for simplicity sake, replace it with this)

This allows me to use my Nexus 7 to play over my Fiio E10 USB DAC, N7 + E10 + HD380 == fun.


It's too late for me to work on combining this with the stock asound.conf.

It's in /etc/ on stock rom and works once replaced."

"We are lucky, no such file or luck on GN or SGS3 yet, need to first understand how alsa works on those phones.

Yes, double check you need the alteration.
I never got sounds out the USB DAC without it.
And now with it, plays fine with DAC, but also when DAC is not plugged, plays sounds as if I never changed anything.
Which is nice either way, not needing to change the file all the time.
Need to find out if/how I can modify the default device for np and sgs3 now, they neither had nor sorry the file.
No support meaning adding the file doesn't change anything there."

"If a serious headphone-loving audiophile encountered the E7 with no brand name they might easily suspect a stealthy black Apple product. It’s similarly sexy, solid, and hewn largely from black anodized aluminum with impressive tolerances and finishes—much like an iPhone 4. "

Awww crap, ... better order one immediately then before Apple sues to have them banned ...

new V3 DUAL AMP portable headphone amplifier | eBay

ODAC + Neco V3:
"It is by far the best usb dac i have ever owned. No thoughts of bothering to look for an upgrade. At my age i am sure it will see me out.
Using it with a Neco Soundlab V3 and Grado SR-325is's.Nirvana at last...."
Epiphany Acoustics E-DAC Review Thread

"ODAC + NECO V.3 + Sennheiser HD580 = A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
I can't tell you how beautiful this rig sounds.  We all know how well the HD580/600 scales with better sources and amps.. but synergy is often undervalued.  The ODAC is beautifully resolving and clean.. but the Neco really steals the show, IMO."
NECO SOUNDLABS PORTABLE V.2 AMP

"It's downright disturbing how incredible this combo sounds with the HE-500.  In fact, it should probably be illegal (**looks at Arizona**).
When driving the HE-500. I like this combo more than the O2."

VentureCraft sees potential in Android & standard USB audio.
VentureCraft delays the release date of its latest headphone amplifier Go-Dap X in order to modify it so that it can interwork with the Samsung Galaxy S3.

"Go-Dap X releasing date in stores will be on Sep. 25th due to this Galaxy S3 modification."

I am wondering if the AudioQuest Bumblebee Android DAC is a standard self-powered USB DAC or an Android-specific USB DAC.

The AudioQuest Bumblebee should be likely an AudioQuest DragonFly with built-in rechargeable battery, because it "supports all music files including 24-bit/192kHz lossless".

And an Android-specific USB DAC can support only 16-bit/44.1kHz:

If the AudioQuest Bumblebee is a standard USB DAC, while using with a PC or a Mac, the sound quality of the AudioQuest Bumblebee should be superior to the sound quality of the AudioQuest DragonFly thanks to a clean battery power.
