Blue Dragon Premium Cable for Dan Clark Audio Headphones

The Blue Dragon Premium Cable has a calm and neutral sound that will enhance clarity in your favorite Dan Clark Audio Headphones. With the neutrality of the Black Dragon and the clarity of the Silver Dragon, the copper-based Blue Dragon will "clean" the sound of your headphones without warming or brightening it. You can think of the Blue Dragon as a cleaning cloth for your eyeglass lenses — Removing obstructions to the best view but not altering your prescription. Whether you choose to pair the Blue Dragon with the warmer-sounding ETHER 2 and Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire or the more neutral, detailed Stealth, you'll enjoy a clean, clear sound without added coloration.

The Blue Dragon is great for vocal performances and genres like Classical, Americana, and Country where a more relaxed, organic sound is desired. We specifically love the Blue Dragon with the Dan Clark Audio E3 Open-Back Headphones. They've got an articulate bass response with a fun sound, and the Blue Dragon will accentuate the E3 headphones' sound, delivering cleaner highs, unveiled mids, and great low-end articulation.

The Blue Dragon Premium is compatible with the following Dan Clark Audio Open and Closed-Back Headphones: AEON 2 Open, AEON 2 Closed, AEON 2 Noire, AEON Flow Closed, AEON Flow Open, Corina, ETHER 2, E3 Closed-Back, Expanse, Stealth, VOCE.

Quality You Can Trust

Most stock headphone cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors that work as a bottleneck for sound. Poor geometries, no shielding, rubber jackets, and a whole host of other issues in OEM cables can limit the performance of the headphone driver in terms of clarity and definition.

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.

Premium Dragon Cables offer the same quality construction as the standard line, featuring UP-OCC 99.99998% pure conductors and matching cable designs with a few upgrades. Cardas Silver Solder is replaced with Mundorf MSolder SUPREME Silver-Gold mix at every connection point, and premium Furutech Rhodium connectors are included to enhance the look, feel and listening pleasure of all your hifi music sessions. When you are trying to squeeze out every last percentage point of performance in your audiophile headphones, the Premium version makes sense. The Furutech Top Line connectors are quite simply the best made, and every point of signal saturation makes a difference.

Is there a night and day difference between the sound quality of the standard and premium? No. Is the Premium the best of the best? Yes. These cables are meant for cream-of-the-crop high-end headphones where every detail makes a difference in bringing you closer to audio bliss.

Blue Dragon Sound Signature

The Blue Dragon is our value full size headphone cable. Using copper strands, it combines the neutrality of the Black Dragon with the clarity of the Silver Dragon at a lower price point. The Blue Dragon is a good fit for improving dynamics without adding coloration. Its calm and neutral sound make it a great place to start with premium cables.

Blue Dragon and Dan Clark Audio Headphones

Many Dan Clark Audio Headphones are made with planar magnetic drivers, giving them a warmer sound signature. This warmth makes them a strong match with a more neutral or analytical cable. The neutrality of the Blue Dragon will highlight the detail and expand the soundstage of Dan Clark Headphones without sacrificing the suitable warmth of many DCA Headphones.

Dan Clark Audio Headphone Connectors

Most Dan Clark Audio Headphones use a proprietary 4-pin locking connection in a dual-entry design. The same connector is used in a single-entry configuration on the Mad Dog Headphones.

Cable Design

The Blue Dragon Headphone Cable is constructed with four conductors made of 99.99998% pure copper. These conductors use varying size stranding, providing more flexibility and a longer lifespan than solid core cables. These conductors are then encased in a braided wire shield, foil, and teflon to protect the audio signal from electromagnetic interference and reduce cable noise. The outer jacket is composed of blue polyethylene to create a durable, flexible shell.

Hack Your Headphones

Dragon Cables are an easy do-it-yourself upgrade to your favorite headphones with detachable cables. With a wide array of connection options, a plug-and-play cable is just a few clicks away.

We also offer custom headphone hacks for your hard-wired cans, like many Grado, Sennheiser or AKG headphones. For more information on custom headphone modifications, visit our Hack Your Headphones portal.
