So I just recently got the Samsung Galaxy SIII. The US version is supposed to not have the Wolfson DAC and some people even report hearing annoying noise on their SGS3, but the fact is, mine sounds amazing. Really amazing. Better than my favorite MP3 player with a Wolfson. (I'm still wondering if somehow it could have a Wolfson anyway -- the one that was in the international SGS3 is newer and probably better in many ways.) What's more, it even drives my headphones and IEMs beautifully with no loss in range, noise (even on the IEMs which still aren't the highest impedance in the world, even if they are 21 or so rather than 16) with deep clear and accurate bass.
Anyway, I'm wondering what games can really take advantage of this. For example, I have Canabalt from a Humble Bundle and it sounds excellent with one of the tracks by the artist from Super Meat Boy's soundtrack. World of Goo also isn't bad at all, though it's not my favorite style (not that I'm looking for "8-bit" or whatever by any means.) Ironically, by comparison I actually disliked Bit.Trip.Beat (despite liking Bit.Trip.Runner on the PC.)
Unfortunately, most of the Android games I've played so far have music more in the vein of Angry Birds than Canabalt and I've had absolutely no luck finding anything really enjoyable in that respect so far.
