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.

Nice to compare the Acrolink to a WW Silver Electra7 PC.
Keep me posted as you massage those newer PC into your system.

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the update. The Acrolink will become better with more hours. I am familiar with the WW Silver Electra 7. A very fine Power Cord indeed. 
I would think that the Acrolink is better than a standard WW Electra7 ?

Happy Listening!

what is the current Power Cord in comparison to the WW Electra 7?
Yes, a new cord requires 200 hours of break/burn-in, unless done so at the factory.

Happy Listening!
