Dragon Cables
Silver Dragon IEM Cable for Empire Ears
$650.00 USDThe Silver Dragon IEM V2 Cable is our most resolute IEM cable made for the critical listener who loves the details. Silver strands clarify instrument separation, increase the soundstage, and find previously lost high and mid-frequency sounds. It's not a forward or bright-sounding cable, but an extremely smooth and clean-sounding cable that delivers an accurate reflection of the music. The bass is tight and well-controlled, with more layers of resolution than any other Dragon Cable we've produced. The Silver Dragon is compatible with all genres but pairs especially well with Classical, Jazz, Blues, Americana, Folk, and other music with lots of nuance and instrumentation.
Made with only the purest UP-OCC stranded silver, the Silver Dragon IEM V2 Cable will leave nothing between you and your music so you can enjoy your favorite songs just the way the artist intended.
Compatible with all custom and universal 2-pin IEMs from Empire Ears, including Bravado MKII, ESR MKII, EVR, EVR MKII, Hero, Legend EVO, Legend X, Nemesis, ODIN, Phantom, Valkyrie MKII, Vantage, Wraith, and all MKII models.
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 detail and clarity of the Silver Dragon make it a perfect match for classical music and other genres with many nuanced instruments.

Silver Dragon Cable Design
The Silver Dragon IEM Cable is built with the finest materials and craftsmanship to unveil your music. Eight conductors of 99.99998% UP-OCC stranded silver are incorporated in each cable as it is the purest wire that can currently be produced and is void of all impurities. Used in just the right ways and proportions, silver conductors in the Silver Dragon IEM Cable will bring out more details and tighten up lower frequencies. Designed for 2-pin and 4-pin IEMs, the Silver Dragon features a 45-degree angle on the lead. This effectively wraps the cable up and around your ear for more comfort and better sound.
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 makes 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.
IEM Connections
2-Pin IEM Connection
Premolded Amplifier Connections
We offer three standard audio cable connector options, a 3.5mm single-ended, 2.5mm balanced, and 4.4mm balanced. These connectors are available premolded, built with durability to last.
- 3.5mm straight or right angle 3 pole stereo single-ended connection for use with most common portable devices
- 2.5mm balanced 4 pole gold straight mini plug for use with the balanced output of the Astell&Kern players, RAL players & ALO amps. The entire body is molded to prevent the face of the connector to short to the chassis ground. This will eliminate issues of ground shorts.
- 4.4mm balanced 5-pole gold straight plug for use with the balanced output of the Astell&Kern, Sony, and iBasso Digital Audio Players.
Both of the 3.5mm connectors have extended necks to vanquish most portable devices that have a deep connector socket hole. Premolded connections are available for immediate shipment, but we also offer custom termination options!
Custom Amplifier Connections
In addition to our premolded options, we also carry a wide array of premium amplifier connectors.
Feel free to reach out if you don't see the connector you need listed. We might just have it!
Connecting Your Dragon IEM Cable
- R: Right Channel
- L: Left Channel
- Cable should always curve up from the connector
With the curve of the cable pointing upward, slide the connector with an "R" marking straight into the right IEM until flush with the shell. Repeat with the "L" marking and the left IEM.
