well these and the atrios will sound very differently most likely
I really hope Im going to like the dba's... Hope there fun and bassy enough to please me. I guess worst comes to worst I return them and pick up the new atrios
I had a pair of loaner DBA02 arrive Friday and I've only had 60-70 minutes to listen to them so far. They are very similar in sound to the Westone 2, but the Westone 2 have a little more bass impact/presence, slightly more warmth and weight, and a little bigger soundstage. Otherwise timbre and tone (flavor) and detail seems similar.
With just 10 minutes of listening I'd say the DBA-02 are a steal for $144 on sake. There are many similar priced IEM that are very good which I would not buy again, for various reasons - i.e. Phonak PFE (sibilant), q-JAYS (dark), Sleek SA-06 (bland), Klipsch X10 (bass bleeds into lower mids), SE530 (rolled-off treble), Denon C700 (recessed mids in relation to boomy bass). But the DBA-02 would be something I'd look at buying if I didn't already have the W2 and was on a budget.
I'll devote more time listening and comparing over the next few days, and I'll post more if my impressions change. They are definitely worth considering in this price range.

Can someone post a web address where these are selling for $144? Thanks.

That's more or less what I heard when I was comparing the two and deciding which one to keep.

Here.
As a fellow CK10 fan these are something you've got to try
Just an update, db audiobase informs me they should be able to start shipping on the 25th of this month.
