Silver Dragon Headphone Adapter Cable
$400.00 USDSilver Dragon Headphone Adapter Cable
This is our Silver Dragon adapter cable to compliment and extend your main Silver Dragon Headphone cable V3. Adapter cables make it more versatile to do quick changes from one connection type to another. This is a great option if you need extra length or to change amplifier terminations. More and more connection types are becoming prevalent, which makes adapter cables a great solution for switching your headphones from home to portable use. Silver Dragon will increase the clarity of your music, revealing more detail and tightening of the lower frequencies.
Materials Matter
The Silver Dragon adapter cables are made from the same materials as our regular Silver Dragon headphone cables. Using 4 x 99.99998% UP-OCC 24AWG Teflon Insulated Stranded conductors, the Silver Dragon cabling is free from all impurities. The new version is now also shielded and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection. The version 3 is quieter than the version 2 with no microphonics. It can be configured for any connector type you need.
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.
Silver Dragon Cable Design
The Silver Dragon Headphone Cable is our top-of-the-line headphone cable. A silver conductor-based cable using 4 x 99.99998% UP-OCC Stranded Silver 24AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors, the Silver Dragon Headphone Cable improves the listening experience of most high-end headphones with plenty of detail, great energy, and a fantastic soundstage with lots of air.
The Silver Dragon Headphone Cable's conductors are free from impurities and have virtually no crystal boundaries. With almost no distortion compared to ordinary silver conductors, each conductor is made up of a special varying sized stranded geometry. The silver strandings are mixed with Kevlar standing's to reinforce the conductor making it stronger overall and less prone to failure due to the harsh constant flexing that headphone cables experience.
Each conductor is encapsulated in a Teflon casing. The conductors are then surrounded by cotton and a thin layer of aluminum foil. It is then protected by a 100% coverage silver plated copper secondary shield and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection. To improve its flexibility, we are no longer using a Techflex jacketing as we did with our previous versions.
A variety of connection options are available for your downstream connection such as the mini plug, RCA, XLR and a whole host of others. We custom build these in house to your connection specifications. The Silver Dragon Headphone Cable can be used in either a single-ended or balanced design. The wire is soldered to a connector using high-quality Cardas silver solder.
The pictured headphones are Ultrasone Edition 8 that we have hacked with a 5ft Silver Dragon V3 Headphone cable that utilizes a Switchcraft Mini 4 pin Male XLR. This connection point allows for adapters to be attached to provide either a balanced termination or a single-ended termination.
The picture also includes a 6″ Silver Dragon adapter with the Balanced plug used for a RSA SR71b or ALO Rx MK3-b. The Ray Samuels RSA SR71B or the ALO Rx Mk3-b are both portable balanced headphone amps. The second 6″ Silver Dragon Adapter Cable has a mini 1/8″ plug for single ended portable amplifiers or direct connection to a portable media player like the iPod.
The 3rd cable in the picture is not an adapter but a Silver Dragon LOD to mini cable. This cable provides a true line out signal from an Apple iDevice such as the iPhone 4s and before and the iPad, etc. Look for a new version of this for the iPhone 5 since Apple is now incorporating a new plug style called the Lightning connector.

Your attention to detail is second to none.

The adaptor is a step up in my listening experience, as expected, as I previously purchased a headphone cable from moon audio for my specific headphone and they were definitely worth the price on entry.
- VRVaughan R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoWas seriously not expecting the difference in sound as much as this cable provided!
I'd been using a good quality copper custom made cable which I'd been enjoying for a year. After improving as much of my headphone setup as I could it was time to try a different 4.4mm TRRRS to dual XLR balanced cable & I choose the Silver Dragon. I seriously was not prepared for the step up in sound quality and enjoyment. The separation & clarity across all genres has to be heard to be believed! I've already ordered another Silver Dragons cable for something else! SUPER FAST delivery from the US to AU arrived in only 7days from the order date! Their customer service is 2nd to none. Contacted immediately to check if wanted to use FedEX international instead of the other option.
