E3 does have prefixed gain setting. It is 2.5 IIRC.
The major different comparing E3 and E5 (in bass mode) is E3 has a warmer / fuller bass. E5 bass boost is clearer, less coloration. On the other hand E5 in bass mode has better detail / treble extension.
So if you are looking for a bigger fuller warmer bass, than E3 will probably be better for you. but if you are looking for an better, more balanced sound, the E5 is the way to go.

Still using the E3 which honestly sounds pretty decent with a Zune30 + Atrio M5 V2. |
