While smartphones are definitely a big part of it, I would bet that another significant reason for the decline in dedicated DAP sales is just old-fashioned market saturation [how many people do you know who don't have one?] as well as with the shift away from fragile HDD-based players to...

Thank you for putting this thread together, I can barely guess at how many hours of your life you've donated to the community in doing so.

There's an entire forum dedicated to amps; I'd recommend that you have a look at a few of the shootouts that've been done, then maybe check out the BST and see what's available used.

I know this is an old thread, but I also just picked up a pair of E4c's, and the only set of yellow foamies I got with them are a little smaller than I would like [I'm not sure which of the sizes they are, but they're just under 1/2" when fully expanded] so I was wondering if anybody else had...
