Black Dragon Lightning Cable for Apple iDevices (1.5 meter)
$180.00 USDBlack Dragon Lightning cables for Apple™ iDevices utilize our same acclaimed Black Dragon USB Wire.
Be prepared to be amazed at the clear sound improvement it will make when transferring your digital audio from your Apple™ iDevice.
The Black Dragon USB cable utilizes our single crystal UP-OCC copper construction to provide you with the best possible digital bus transmission.
The Black Dragon USB cable is utilized to transfer digital audio information from your PC or portable iDevice to an outboard USB Digital to Analog Converter allowing you to enjoy your computer based audio in a home or portable audio system's environment.
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 warm and smooth with a musical presentation. Copper strands enhance the body, shape, and immediacy of the music. The detail and expansiveness of the Black Dragon make it a flexible fit where a broad range of musical genres are played. It can also improve bass frequencies on bass-light headphones.
The smooth, musical quality makes it a perfect fit for headphones that tend to sound a bit edgy or bright. Despite its warmth, the Black Dragon does not have a laid back, lush sound. It is much closer to neutral, making it a very natural sounding cable.

Cable Design
The Black Dragon USB uses 99.999% pure copper 24AWG Teflon insulated stranded copper conductors with a double layer shield to ward off outside interference.
Standard USB cables are not up to the task of large bit rate information. Drew has optimized this cable for audio transmission of large High Rez files.
USB cables can make big a difference and the Black Dragon is one heck of a bang for the buck cable.
The cable uses 99.99998% UP-OCC Stranded Copper 28AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors for the data legs with a double layer shield to ward off outside interference. The 2 power conductors utilize 2 x 99.99998% UP-OCC Stranded Copper 28AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors for seamless power supply.
Standard USB cables are not up to the task of large bit rate information so Moon Audio has optimized this cable for audio transmission of large High Res files. We recommend using Apps such as Flac Player and the ONKYO HF Player. These will allow you to play your higher resolution files.
Make sure to always rip your Audio to iTunes™ or other audio software in either Wav or Flac format for best results. The cable is made to carry a digital signal from an Apple iDevice such as an iTouch, iPhone or iPad to another digital audio device.
