Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?


I recently bought a new power cord but there isn’t much difference in sound quality between this new cord and the previous Wireworld Elektra 7 which it replaces. The cords are used on the DAC.

Any ideas if the cord needs to burn in to open up and sound better? It currently has about 5 hours on it and I think I prefer the sound quality of the previous cord which costs 10 times cheaper.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Burn in is necessary.  Do not judge the cable after 5 hours.  Wait 200 hours and decide.  You will find that it will fluctuate and the bass will settle last.  I found burn in required for every new component.  In addition cables needs settling in. If I remove my cables and re connect after a few hours I need to wait at least 24 hours
