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.
Sound Characteristics and Design
When designing the Silver Dragon IEM headphone cable V2, we decided to design the best possible IEM cable to truly bring out the best in the top-of-the-line JH Audio IEMs. A no-holds-barred approach was taken with 8 x 99.99998% UP-OCC Stranded Silver conductors being used per cable. The amount of silver used in this cable over Version 1 is mind-blowing, and we stayed true to our motto to not overprice or overinflate the retail price. This is by no means a low-priced cable, but we challenge you to find a cable at this price point and performance level. We know you won't find a better value or sound at this price.
The V2 design utilizes a 99.99998% UP-OCC Stranded Silver conductor. It is the purest wire that can be produced in this day and age and is void of all impurities. It includes all the sonic characteristics and strengths of our original Silver Dragon IEM cable with an enhanced level of resolution and detail. It is not an overly forward or bright-sounding cable; it is extremely smooth, very clean, with an accurate reflection of the music. We have found it to be very non-fatiguing with a mastering reference sound indeed. A tight, well-controlled bass which has more layers of resolution than any other cable we have produced rounds out its characteristics.
If you are a critical listener like our founder, Drew Baird, then there is no substitution for this cable! You will be thrilled with the resolution and detail.
Redesign of the JH Audio connections and IEM sockets
The cable connections and IEM sockets of the JH Audio 4-pin connection style IEMs were also redesigned by Moon Audio. The Astell&Kern and JH Audio IEMs with the 4-pin connection style include: the Angie, Angie II, Rosie, Roxanne, Roxanne II, Layla, and Layla II, and soon-to-follow all custom IEMs at JH Audio. Please contact us or JH as to whether your new IEM will have this 4-pin connection. This 4pin connection socket upgrade has improved the durability of the connections and sockets for long-term use and enjoyment.
First, we improved the threaded locking section and the nut, as we are now using anodized aluminum for durability and better tolerance. The male and female pins utilize a proprietary metal combination called ARCAP. It is essentially a high-yield copper-based metal that does not contain iron, so it is not magnetic. It also has very high tensile strength, and it is resistant to chemical corrosion. This is very important for those of you who will use the cable and IEMs at the gym or on stage if you are in a band, as it will be much more durable and resistant to flex failure from the constant movement and/or wear and tear.
Standard Premolded Options
- 2.5mm balanced 4-pole gold straight mini plug for use with the balanced output of the Astell&Kern players, RAL players and ALO amps. The entire body is molded to prevent the face of the connector from shorting out the chassis' ground.
- 3.5mm straight 3 pole stereo single ended connection for use with most common portable devices.
- 3.5mm right angle 3 pole stereo single ended connection for use with most common portable devices.
Both of the 3.5mm connectors have extended necks to vanquish most portable devices that have a deep connector socket hole.
We will also offer custom termination options as usual in the future. The Premolded connections are available for immediate shipment, and custom terminations will be available in a few weeks.

- RMRobert M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoQuality adapter
I needed a 4.4mm balanced to 3.5mm unbalanced adapter for my FAudio IEMs. I originally purchased the Strauss&Wagner unit, but the outer housing on the female end worked its way loose after a dozen uses.The Silver Dragon adapter is of much higher build quality and is felt in the weight of the connectors which are much heavier than the S&W offering.Overall, the Silver Dragon is a spendy adapter, but given the cost of the IEMs and quality of the FAudio cable, I feel it’s worth it.Sound wise, there is “perhaps” slightly less grain than the S&W unit. Almost imperceptible. Buy it for the build quality, not the belief it will revolutionize your portable rig.

- BOBrent O.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoSilver Dragon IEM V2 cable 1.5ft long
As far as other options for a 4.4mm balanced extension, I'm not aware of any other products that match this quality. Prior to ordering this I had tried a extension that was your typical cheap option from Amazon and the entire left audio channel just didn't work when I plugged my IEMs into it. These have a premium look & feel with the connection at each end feeling solid with a click, it's not loose or wiggly. Subjectively I do feel like it does tighten up vocals and bass and it basically really compliments the accurate, smooth sound of my planar IEMs and I look forward to pairing this with my Crinacle 7hz Diokos. It's the most I've paid for an adapter but I don't feel like there is any weak link in my audio products that I paired with it. Thank you to their support team as well for answering my question prior to ordering.

Good, but very high priced. Not sure I needed to spend that much for it. Did not know of a better option so I'll live with it. Quality and it's performance seem to be very good. Goes well with the Astell & Kern Solaris X IEM's I bought from Moon Audio and enjoy very much.
