Silver Dragon Portable Mini IEM V1 Cable
The Silver Dragon Portable Mini IEM V1 Cable is a versatile option that can be used to connect portable audio devices or to connect a portable device to a home stereo system. When crazy bends or super slim portable rigs are used, the Silver Dragon Portable Mini IEM V1 cable is a must for optimal sound.
With the Silver Dragon, you'll hear more clarity, instrumentation, and detail. Compatible with any genre, the Silver Dragon works especially well with classical, jazz, and other music with lots of instrumentation and nuance. It's a great choice if your audio system is overly warm or dark, or if you enjoy critical listening. Level up to the Silver Dragon and experience your music like never before. *Available in a minimum length of 1 foot for dual connectors, like RCAs.
Note: If you're looking for a warmer sound, see the Black Dragon Portable Mini IEM V1 Cable. If flexibility is not a concern in your hi-fi setup, then the Silver Dragon Portable Mini V3 cable will be your best choice.
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.
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.
Silver Dragon 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 this UP-OCC process produces a very clean and close to neutral sound in our copper-based and silver-based cables.

- JJoelVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoExcellent cable for portables
I purchased this cable specifically for a Shure KSE 1500 Electrostatic IEM matting up to a Mojo 2. The short 6 inch length works perfectly when on the go and it's also just long enough if I want use it as a rare desktop setup with my Mojo 2. After the initial break in period the cable added a touch of analytical profile while keeping all the musicality.To break in the V1 Silver Dragon cable I used a cheap transistor radio for about a consecutive 100 hour period. This effectively did the job. (All this said, I would not say this cable sounded harsh before the break in.) Is it worth it? Yes it is. Do not look for a day and night differentiation. The difference is subtle and in my opinion worth the expense if you want to take a great hifi experience to the next level. The short length is very much recommended as it keeps the cable tight and avoids entanglements with others. Sounds like a philosophy to live by... right?
- JCJeffrey C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoSilver Dragon Cable a true addition to excellent sound quality
I was thrilled to hear that this Silver Dragon Portable Mini V1 cable makes an immediate and thrilling difference to the sound of my Cayin N7 when connecting to the Cayin C9 portable amp. These two in my opinion provide an unmatched audio experience, and with this cable upgrade from the stock cable from Cayin, make an excellent pairing even more so, when coupled in LO mode. The sound-stage, already wide and immersive, somehow becomes just “more so”, and the bass and mids allow the textures of individual instruments to both combine and be highlighted when appropriate. Like a concert-hall experience in your ears! Bravo, so glad I purchased this. For what it’s worth, I am listening with Focal Celestee.

- BFBrent F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoSilver Dragon Portable Mini IEM V1 Cable
Recently purchased a pair of B&W PX headphones for travel. While I most often use them via Bluetooth with my phone at times I insert my CEntrance BlueDAC and go cabled. The Silver Dragon is a nice upgrade to the stock. I use Silver Dragon cables for my home headphone rig and similar to their big brother the mini cable adds detail air and clarity in the highs and lows. Recommended.
