Black Dragon Lightning Cable for Apple iDevices (1.5 meter)
Black 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 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 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.
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-res files.
USB cables can make a big 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 a 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.

- KCKendall C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoSilver Dragon in Car
Wish i had ordered a size longer but except for that I’m well pleased with the cable. Much nicer dynamics and the detail has caused my car’s sound system to change with such a more clean signal that it needed to be tuned again. A good thing👍
- SSSteven S.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars4 years agoLooks Are Deceiving ...
Good, lively sound but at this price point, I expect more robust plug end reinforcement. I already see stress point forming after one month of use in the car.
- CMChristopher M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoGreat Cable Fantastic Price!
Another great cable with amazing sound. Handles Jazz and Blues very well and even some rock and metal but more of the Symphonic Metal and 80s rock and metal. Still a great cable at an amazing price.
