High quality audio

Is it just me or does this phone have really good audio? I have some nice over the ear headphones and my music (via google music over wifi) sounds better than almost anything else I own.

It's not just you! In fact, I'd started a thread about this last week or the week before. I have an AT&T S4 (SGH-I337) and the audio is really good. So good, in fact, that I don't have to you my HeadRoom Total Bithead headphone amp to nicely push my Sennheiser HD595s that I like to use with my mobile gear. The Qualcomm chipset in the S4 seems to have a good DAC/opamp combo going for it.

Has anyone compared it to the HTC One audio quality? I have the HTC One, and the audio quality is fantastic. I want to trade it for the Google S-4, but I don't want to give up the great audio (on headsets).
