I believe MP foams are Monk Plus foams and yes varying thicknesses of foams will affect the sound as do the donuts.
Could you be more specific about how it affects? Or maybe a link to that information.
Thanks

The results will be different for every earbud. for instance the MP foams are very porous yet will help to attenuate the highs a bit and perhaps give the bass a bit more size. Where as a donut will five you more highs yet still attenuating the rear ports. perhaps someone else can chime in , but this the jist of it. Foams also add comfort and fit properties as well.Could you be more specific about how it affects? Or maybe a link to that information.

check the review of the monk+ from Brooko, very instructiveCould you be more specific about how it affects? Or maybe a link to that information.
Thanks

Right now, mostly the X5iii, I was using the Mojo and I'm still on the hunt for a proper DAP that will output using Balanced line-out.

You're using a warm source with warm earbuds?! That would be overkill for me! (I haven't actually heard the Mojo though)
If it's not out of your budget, I would recommend the DX200 that I got recently. Even my headphones (that I've decided to keep) sound really different. Been listening to the AMP2 as well, and its the perfect balance of warmth and detail (where the X5iii was too much warmth for me). Pretty sure I prefer it over the AMP1 now. Works amazing as a USB DAC too. Running it through my Liquid Carbon amp.
If it is out of budget, Onkyo DP-X1A (or the cheaper Pioneer look-a-like) is another good sub-$1k DAP that I've heard. Better implementation of the balanced connection over the X5iii. It's more of a neutral signature though, so it may sound bright coming from the X5iii. No interchangeable amps either.

@ctaxxxx Does it have a dedicated Balanced Line-Out?
I think every Sony mini (cheapest) mp3 player comes with it.
Actually E808+ is a made-up model produced by the Chinese using fake Sony earbuds' shell. The same is true to SHE3800 which Phillips never produces.

MP foams have better acoustical transparency and delicately mix driver sound like no other. With bright earbuds, it can be redundant, but for dark-sounding, this is the best thing that is invented for my taste. Simply, buy ExPack from VE and check ..
