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.

I love this BS...
Just take that "recommended" power cable, and use it with your castle.
By the time your tea will taste better, it will also sound better.
The only thing that needs BI are mechanical or electromechanical components.
Copper conductors? Need no BI. it's a dull statement of a saler to make you keep a product that made no difference at all and he really wants to keep the sale rather than reofun you.
One of the best froud inventions of the Audio market.

Mr. Dill

I claimed that I can calculate the speaker cable cross section, by the Amp’s DF and cable length. The speaker (load) has nothing to do in that deal.
I still claim the same. Even better. I found that if you go over the board and get even a thicker cable, the sound won’t improve.

For you, I would recommend you to try it, and use the power cable as your cattle power cable, for ever! to deepen its burn in. the more you burn it in, the better it will sound. This is a very good deal for you.
