Silver Dragon IEM V1 Cable (2 Pin)
Upgrade your 2-pin IEMs with a Silver Dragon IEM V1 cable. Perfect for critical listening or for balancing warm or dark-sounding IEMs, the Silver Dragon will open up the soundstage and provide more clarity and detail. Silver conductors will tighten up the bass and pull out "lost" middle and high frequencies so you don't miss a thing. Compatible with any genre, the Silver Dragon works especially well with classical, jazz, and other music with lots of instrumentation and nuance. Level up to the Silver Dragon and experience your music like never before.
Find a list of compatible IEMs in the Specification section.
Silver Dragon Sound Signature
The Silver Dragon is the original cable. Silver strands clarify instrument separation, increase soundstage, and find previously lost high and mid-frequency sounds. Transients appear more cohesive and the bass is tighter for a more controlled sound. The detail and clarity of the Silver Dragon make it a perfect match for classical music and other genres with many nuanced instruments.

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.
"The Silver Dragon JH3A Cable and Silver Dragon IEM Cable gives a +3db increase in input sensitivity across the entire frequency range and much greater detail than any other cable."
Jerry Harvey, JH Audio | RMAF 2012
2-Pin Connections
This cable now includes 2 types of 2-pin connections. The first is for Custom & Universal IEMs that include memory wire for a 2-pin connection option. This is typically used for IEMs like JH Audio, Noble Audio, Empire Ears, and many others that utilize a cable that wraps around the ear.
The second option was specifically designed for the new Audeze IEMs. Such as Audeze iSine10, iSine20 & LCD-i4 with a 2-pin connection that offers a locking channel and no memory wire for a direct drop-down cable from the IEMs.
Cable Design
This cable features a coaxial design utilizing a 99.99998% UP-OCC stranded silver 26AWG center conductor for the positive leg. The center conductor uses Kevlar reinforcing and 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 this UP-OCC process produces a very clean and close to neutral sound in our copper-based and silver-based cables.
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.

"If making deep connections with your music is important...products like the Silver Dragon cables can act as a conduit to that grand connection. I'm never giving mine up..."

I love these cables. I always upgrade my headphone and audio equipment with Moon cables. The difference is not subtle it is a substantial sound upgrade well worth the money to get the most out of your expensive equipment.
- PMPaul M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoSilver Dragon Cable
I own some Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk’s IEM’s and upgraded to the Silver Dragon cable. It really opened up the sound and tightened up the bass of my music. I am very pleased with my purchase. I’m even thinking about ordering the Black Dragon cable for the Moondrop Aria’s that I just purchased.
- ESEj S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoAmazing!
Everyone said that cables don’t matter. We’ll they are WRONG! The sound quality has increased in my ear buds and I’ll never go back. Plus these wires are super comfortable. Great job in putting together a great product!
- GCGuy C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoCool
I needed a solution for wearing my earphones for about 6-8 months because of some new ear piercings that I have. My Audeze’s are unfortunately unusable right now because of the piercings. But I cannot live without music so I had Moon Audio build me a cable that works with my Brooklyn DAC+ XLR connection.Everything works great! I did have a hiss at first but a quick adjustment in the DAC+ and now it works better than expected. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I can’t wait to hear them once they are broken in! So, yes, a great purchase. The v***** to go with this 2 pin to XLR setup.
