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.

Toslink Connection Tip
1.) To disconnect the Silver Dragon Toslink cable, dislodge the connector tip from the port by holding the connector where the heat shrink tubing is and slightly pulling the connector out (1mm or 2mm); do the same with the other end and pull the cable out. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect both connections at once. This can damage the cable.
2.) Toslink ports with swing doors, like the Mojo, for example, should follow the following practice. This might be a practical design, but this door can cause scratches to the Toslink fiber tip. We have concluded from a customer who complained of issues with the cable that there was an excessive amount of scratches on the Toslink fiber tip. In order to open the Toslink port door, do not use the fiber tip, as it will instantly scratch it. This negates the point of the polished tip on 0.3 micron film. To alleviate this problem, I propose to open the Toslink port door by holding the Toslink connector tip under a, let's say, 45-degree angle. This way, the fiber tip edge metal ferrule will be in contact with the swing door first, preventing the fiber tip from scratching.
3) Properly store the cable when not in use and put on the protective tips that are included with the cable.
4) If the above is not followed, it will result in issues with the cable. The above issues are wear and tear and will not be covered under warranty.
