I don't agree for a few reasons:
- first the sound enhancements you're talking about are not so useful, ok DSEE is nice but only for low bitrate mp3, and clear bass doesn't really deliver what i would call clear bass.
- secondly the E series is only 20€ cheaper in France (i'm comparing the two 8 GB models) and don't offer in-ear headphones.
- finally in their review GMP3 stated the E430 series is just a little bit under the S630 series for audio, and quite above the old S610 series. So i guess there can't be a huge difference between those two series.
