The Black Dragon Premium Cable is a wonderful upgrade for your HiFiMan Susvara, HE1000se, HE1000v2, Arya, Arya Stealth Magnets, or Ananda headphones. UP-OCC copper strands in the Black Dragon enhance the body, shape, and immediacy of music. The Black Dragon will smooth out the treble without sacrificing detail on a headphone with top-end sizzle, like the Ananda. On a more neutral-sounding headphone like the Susvara or the Arya, the Black Dragon will add some warmth, fullness and musicality. For a warmer headphone like the HE1000 and HE1000v2, the Black Dragon will give you even more of a musical, immersive, "I'm there" feeling. This versatile cable works well with most genres, particularly Rock and Roll, Pop, R&B, Electronica, and other music with a big, bold presentation.

The Black Dragon Premium Cable features 4 x 21.5AWG Teflon-insulated stranded conductors using pure single crystallized UP-OCC pure copper with 7N purity 99.99998%. Dragon Premium cables offer the same quality construction as our standard Dragon cables, but with extras like Mundorf Msolder SUPREME SilverGold and premium rhodium-plated Furutech connectors that look and feel great while enhancing your listening pleasure. Get ready for a truly immersive experience that will make you fall in love with your HiFiMan headphones all over again!

Compatible with the HiFiMan Susvara, HE1000se, HE1000v2, Arya, Arya Stealth Magnets, and Ananda headphones.

When you are trying to squeeze out every last percentage point of performance, the Premium version makes sense. The Furutech Top Line connectors are quite simply the best made, and every point of signal saturation makes a difference.

Is there a night and day difference between the sound quality of the standard and premium? No. Is the Premium the best of the best? Yes. These cables are meant for cream-of-the-crop headphones where every detail makes a difference in bringing you closer to audio bliss.

Cable Design

We use the Oyaide Rhodium-plated 2.5mm or 3.5mm mini plug on the headphone side. Each conductor is made up of a special varying size stranding geometry. The copper stranding is mixed with Kevlar stranding to reinforce the conductor making it stronger overall and less prone to failure due to the harsh constant flexing a headphone cable receives. The conductors are then surrounded by cotton and then a layer of Teflon tape. The new version is also shielded and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection.

The default 1/4" Plug is the new Furutech CF-763. Furutech’s beautifully finished, beautiful sounding CF-763 connectors are the result of meticulous engineering and careful audition of various suitable materials. The CF-763 features a non-magnetic, Rhodium-plated α (Alpha) phosphor bronze conductor and Fluoropolymer insulation for minimal impedance and a nonmagnetic stainless and carbon fiber finished housing for superior damping.

For XLR connections there are two choices. The FP-601M (R) XLR uses a beryllium copper and phosphor bronze α (Alpha) conductor; the body is a copper alloy with PVDF fluoropolymer insulation. The second choice is the top-of-the-line CF-601M (R) XLR, which utilizes an α (Alpha) beryllium copper and phosphor bronze rhodium-plated conductor with carbon fiber and nonmagnetic stainless steel housing. The body is PVDF fluoropolymer insulation with a specially designed cable strain relief.
