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.
Silver Dragon Sound Signature
The Silver Dragon is our top-of-the-line flagship cable designed to maximize the amount of detail, clarity, air, and instrument separation you get from your music. Silver strands increase the soundstage, clarify instrument separation, and find previously lost high and mid-frequency sounds. Transients appear more cohesive, and the bass is tighter for a more controlled sound.
The Silver Dragon pairs well with all genres, especially Classical, Jazz, Americana, and other music with lots of nuance and instrumentation. That being said, the Silver Dragon can be paired with many other genres as well. If you are a self-proclaimed "detail freak" who loves critical listening, the Silver Dragon will be your cable of choice. It will open up the top-end and add an extra layer of air or resolution. It will tighten up and control the bass. It will add energy and excitement to the performance.
Cable Design
This cable is a coaxial design utilizing a 99.99998% UP-OCC stranded silver 26AWG center conductor for the positive leg. The center conductor uses the same Kevlar reinforcing as the other Dragon cables. The center conductor is wrapped concentrically by a 99.99998% UP-OCC silver-plated single crystallized UP-OCC pure copper stranded 26AWG gauge conductor with 7N purity 99.99998%. The left and right signal cables run parallel to each other, resulting in a very low inductance. Both signal jackets are polyethylene, and the cable is extremely flexible yet very resilient and resistant to flex failure.
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 that this UP-OCC process produces a very clean and close to neutral sound in our copper-based and silver-based cables.
TripleFi IEM Connector
This cable features a proprietary 2-pin connector with a form that is a bit larger than many IEMs. It is used on Triple Fi and Super Fi IEMs from Ultimate Ears.
This cable is not compatible with UE Pro series IEMs.
Connecting the Silver Dragon IEM Cable
- Red: Right Channel
- Blue: Left Channel
- Dots should always point up
With the red dot facing upward, slide the connector straight into the right IEM until flush with the shell. Repeat with the blue dot and the left IEM.

- ACAlfonso C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 years agoGreat product
The only thing I don’t like, is the length of the cable. Too short for me, everything else is outstanding
- CCBVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoSilver Dragon IEM V1 Cable for Ultimate Ears Triple Fi
I have been using Ultimate Ears as well as Etymotics and Shure earphones for years. The cable went bad on a pair of Triple Fi's and I thought I would try an upgraded cable set. Everything about the audio spectrum is better. Highs are better presented mids are far more detailed with a greater sense of space between the instruments and lows are so much better controlled allowing the detail of the rest of the frequency band to come through. Build quality is very nice no noticeable cable microphonics to speak of incredible left/right separation. To say I am stunned would be selling the cable short. Thanks for a great product !
- WDWoody's d.Rated 3 out of 5 stars5 years agoSilver Dragon IEM V1 Cable for Ultimate Ears Triple Fi
This is the second Silver Dragon cable that I've purchased within the past two years. I really enjoy the enhanced sound quality over a standard set of cables that come with the Triple fi 10's. For a basic IEM non-custom fit pair the sound coming out of the IEM's with the Silver Dragon Cables is outstanding. I had a pair of JH-16's until I lost them on an airplane flight and honestly I like the Triple fi 10's better. Staff Note We appreciate when customers alert us to problems. We hand-craft Dragon audio cables with the finest materials but bad things can and do happen. If our Dragons can't bring the great sound we are known for around the world we replace them. We ask customers to return the problem cable so we learn what happened and why. We don't replace many cables (less than 1%) but learning from the small number where bad things happened makes Dragons stronger better and able to breath fire into your music. Thanks to Woody's Dad for the note and a replacement was sent. Drew Baird Founder & CEO Moon-Audio.com
