Black Dragon Portable Mini Cable
The Black Dragon Portable Mini Cable is our most durable mini cable. This cable is appropriate for desktop and home use where flexibility is not a concern. Soundwise, the Black Dragon offers sonic improvements over the V1. It's a stranded, silver-plated copper design that marries the attributes of our Silver Dragon IEM cables and Black Dragon IEM V1 cables. This means you'll enjoy great detail, clarity, and soundstage along some midrange warmth, bottom-end weight, and a smooth top end. We like to call the Black Dragon V2 our "do it all" cable. Level up to the Black Dragon and take your portable gear to new sonic heights!
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors with poor geometries, rubber jackets, and other issues that can limit the performance of your equipment.
Dragon Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are created with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Black Dragon Sound Signature
The Black Dragon is our top-of-the-line flagship cable designed to increase musicality and provide a warmer tonality with amazing bass performance. Copper strands increase the boldness by providing more slam and attack. It smooths out and provides a more romantic sound signature. A great way to get lost in the music.
The Black Dragon pairs well with all genres, especially Classical, Blues, Rock & Roll, R&B, and anything with a toe-tapping beat like EDM and Dance music. That being said, the Black Dragon can be paired with many other genres as well. If you love to get lost in the music and want to feel like you are at the performance, then this is the cable for you. Are your headphones a little thin sounding and need more meat on the bones, give the Black Dragon a try. Hear those subsonic frequencies like never before.

Black Dragon Cable Design
We had many requests from customers who had systems where the Silver Dragon just wasn't an ideal fit. Therefore, we set out to make the best possible copper cable. The Black Dragon Portable Mini Cable is the result of those efforts, and it truly exceeded our wildest dreams. It is an extremely smooth, transparent cable without too much warmth. For years, our hearing tastes have always driven us in the direction of silver. We have never quite enjoyed the sound of copper as much as we enjoy the sound of silver. Well, that has now changed with the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon Portable Mini Cable uses 4 x 99.99998% UP-OCC stranded Copper Conductors. These conductors are from impurities and have virtually no crystal boundaries. The conductors have almost no distortion compared to ordinary copper conductors. This cable can be used with a variety of different connectors, both balanced and unbalanced, such as a 3.5mm TRS Mini plug, 2.5mm TRRS Balanced Plug, or 4.4mm TRRRS Balanced Plug. As always, we custom-build this cable in-house using high-quality Cardas silver solder.
What is UP-OCC?
UP-OCC stands for Ultra Pure Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC). This is not a material but a way of extruding silver and copper to prevent any impurities and fractures in the crystalline structure of the wire. The wire is drawn very slowly to cast as an almost perfect single-crystal small-diameter conductor. The resulting purity and the size of the cast wire make a tremendous difference, and there is less damage to the near-perfect cast state. We find this UP-OCC process produces a very clean and close to neutral sound in our copper-based and silver-based cables.

Just what I ordered. Connection tight, always happy with Moon audio cables
- NFNicholas F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoCable
Does exactly what it's supposed to do and there's no loss of sound quality
- WKWooHyeok K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoBest Performance
When used with a stationary amplifier, it provided a sound quality better than the well-known brand's pure silver wire interconnect cable in almost every aspect. Despite being a pure copper wire, it didn't lose detail, and the texture of the sound was impressive with rich information and a smooth, silky quality. Personally, I can't say I'm 100% satisfied because I was expecting a warmer sound, but still, it seems difficult to find a more satisfying sound than this cable. Objectively speaking, I think it's a very good cable that I can strongly recommend to the majority of people.
- LBLawrence B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoGood stuff
