Hello. I'm wondering if the Audeo PFE is comparable to the DBA-02, an IEM that is incredibly hard to find now. The only site where it is available seems to be Treoo.com, however, with the additional shipping to the US, the DBA-02 comes in at nearly $235 USD. Do you feel the DBA -02 is worth the additional $75 over suggested retail, or that there is better in that larger price range.
In ljokerl's Multi-IEM review, he compares the DBA-02 to the Ath-CK10, another hard to find IEM. But it is that soundstage, instrumental separation, and clarity that I'm looking for. Again, does the Audeo PFE represent a good alternative, or is the DBA-02 worth the additional price?
I emailed GD Audiobase and received this email on Jan 3:
"Hi! New batch with DBA-02 will be there approx through1/5 week, or so. Thanks!"
I assume he means one to five weeks. Bugdenaudio changed from "Out of Stock" to "Buy Now" on the DBA-02, but it's on back order. So to recap: Wait for DBA-02 (which is really hard!), pay more ($75), get something comparable (?), or stick to my second (and cheaper) choice of the Audeo PFE. This is my first taste of a serious IEM, which I would like to have outstanding clarity. Thanks for your help Head-Fi!
