I modified my 4p stock cable up to 47ohm resistance, sounds superb, especially when powered by a supermicro.
Etymotic ER-4ps still respected?

Does the er4p benefit from and amp as much as the er4s or is it just as good straight out of a dap?

The P doesn't need an amp and won't improve much. I almost never use an amp with my ER4P. I do use an S cable and amp at times.

i am amazed that people enjoy the highs and mids smeared through their ears with fake soundstage and bloated bass.

i am amazed that people can't understand the concept that different people have different tastes. And if you can't learn to respect another person's taste, you should get out of head-fi.

I'm amazed that people are arguing about other people.

Actually, I found that amping my er-4p really made the bass reponse go from unsatisfactory to totally head-bobbing on certain songs. That was probably more from me moving from the Cowon D2's headphone out than anything though.

You have a point. If you were to use an amp that tends to add bass then the difference can be real. As far as having enough power to drive them properly I think most DAPs can do that, at least all that I've used. Different sound sigs between DAPs is also a factor as you may have have discovered.
