IEM recommendations need!

[blankoistic]

Hi all~ This is my first post here, and I would like to ask for some IEM recommendations. I am currently using the FA Eterna V2, satisfied with the sound. However, I am planning to upgrade my IEMs. I would like something that is better that eterna, and was looking at the DBA-02. My budget is about $200 USD, which is the price of DBA-02s sold in my country. I am using the Hippo Gumstick as my DAP.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I've not tried Eterna, but DBA-02 is an entirely different kind of IEM. It may be 'better' than Eterna, but it's certainly a huge departure from the fun sound of Eterna. Are you sure you want to lose the huge bass quantity of Eterna and settle for bass light (but not entirely devoid of bass) DBA-02?
