I'm a bit of an audiophile too. I've bought enough music on CD to choke most MP3 players (and I have probably designed more portable MP3 players than most).
On my phone, I like Musicolet. It doesn't choke, has been easy enough to learn how to use, and offers some nice functions to those willing to learn how to use them.

I don't buy CD's that often, I prefer buying music digital. Neutron isn't easy to set up. Not because of too many options but because the options aren't all easy to find. But it sounds absolutely great. I use it with a Sennheiser Momentum 4. If you'd like to try it you can do that for a limited time for free on Android devices. I'd highly recommend it!

Uh, CDs *are* digital. They're 44.1 kHz 16-bit PCM stereo. I prefer the resolution they offer, and find that lossy encoding and compression formats come and go.
Thanks for the tip on Neutron; I might have to check it out!
Also thanks for the tip on the Sennheiser headphones. I totally wore out my old Sony MDR-V6 headphones. (By the way, that's the same model that Sony uses in its production rooms. I've even seen them in the mastering rooms at Sony's big CD factory, years before I worked for Sony.)
