I mentioned them quickly earlier in the thread. More or less saying that the DPA 4006 or 4011 is IMHO about the only equal of the Schoeps.
I've used DPAs & Schoeps side by side. They are both superlative mics by any measure. I can't say one is "better" than the other. But there are slight differences between the 2. I think the high voltage DPAs might edge out the Schoeps by a hair...but it also depends on what the source is. I generally prefer Schoeps on stringed instruments & ensembles. I think DPAs might be better on voices/choirs.
Of course, that can all change from day to day based on how I'm feeling when I setup for any particular session
