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.

This formula should help;
The perceived improvement created by a piece of wire introduced into an audio system is directly proportional to the price you paid for it divided by how embarrassed you are about admitting how much you paid for it squared by the volume of space in your budget where money used to be.

Roberjerman is the only poster so far who has contributed anything remotely useful to this question. You guys really need to study some basic physics, along with ohms law and a chart on wire gauge and it's resistance rating per 1000 feet. Then measure the length of a typical AC cord supplied with most audio gear.
